On Windows XP you're supposed to start the launcher with administrative permissions the first time after installation. So if you haven't done that, it's required to do.

Have you tried with moving out DLL or disabling Directx 9 in Up1.5 Settings?

It looks like the Launcher is trying to generate some files, and it asks for the administration permissions to be able to write in the game folder. Do you actually type the admin password there, or refuse it?

Since it's a very old version I won't really focus on it, but I remember it was working fine, even in tests that I made at the end of the last year. Gog released some "updated" or rather "broken" version with their own DirectX 8 to 9 wrapper. Maybe the old Launcher version was no...

What password? Can you show a screenshot / photo of what it's showing?

What error is displayed on Windows XP? Maybe make a copy of the game folder and try on it, instead of the main installation? That last version for XP should work fine on Windows XP SP2. Maybe you don't have the latest service pack installed. CSV editor is not needed, because you can edit .csv files ...

Besides that there are many other extra options, such as removed...

No, the ceasefires in EE2 are hardocded and were hacked by me years later. So you need the Normal or Developers version of UP1.6 for more ceasefire and resources options to be available in game. It's also better to play EE2 with the Unofficial Patch on the modern Windows 11 / 10 PC rather than retro...

Happy Good Friday 2024 =)

Yes, exactly. You could import clouds from the other mods. The ones in UP1.6 use the textures that were available in game files already (except the Night that I changed myself because was unacceptable). The other mods, such as EE4 have a way better sky textures, so I would recommend importing from t...

Generally, the sky was always the same in all times of days in EE2. In the normal version of 1.6, I modded some of game files to use different cloud setts. For developers version I can't do this as it would overwrite some of the file(s) frequently modified by other mods. So the only solution is to m...
