Beta 4 is out, and Windows XP compatibility is back with a vengeance:
full 64-bit XP support has been restored, the 32-bit SSE2 binary should
be fixed to run on XP again, and both 32-bit binaries now also enjoy a
performance gain from switching to VS2015, just like the previous beta's
64-bit binary:
https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/releases/tag/v3.7.1-beta.4
64-bit non-XP users might also benefit, thanks to some bugfixes.
Happy testing!

You snuck in updating from vs2010 to vs2015. Nice!
The .sln won't load because my vs2015 is too old. Boo!
...and firefox and chrome won't play on the m$ site just because...
I know I have IE here somewhere...

Well, then you may want to update, don't you ;)
Sounds like you are using VS2015 "Update 0"; otherwise, let us know
details about the version you're using, and maybe also the messages
you're getting, so we can try and fix this.
We need to require Update 1 in order to ensure full XP support, as the
runtime library shipping with "Update 0" was buggy in that respect.
We could change the .sln to load in Update 0, but that would only delay
problems until you try to actually build it.

Did you try "Tools | Extensions and Updates..."?
(Also, I haven't seen any problems on the MS site with FireFox in a while.)

Yes. I have no problem with that as a prereq.

Uhhh... sure, we'll go with that. I can't verify because my system is
fragilly in between downloading the 87GB update and installing it.

It said "Your VS2015 is too old to load this .sln"

Yeah, I didn't see anything useful. Google suggested that and "Help |
Check for Updates" neither of which existed. (The Help one is where I
went first)

I hadn't either. I finally got started with Chrome, not logged in to
MSDN. I even reset my firewall. It was weird.

Ah bollocks. The only thing worse than updating a perfectly fine
running computer, is updating it with an 87GB "patch".

I'm surprised it knows crtdefs.h considering it seems to have lost
everything else.

In case it's of any interest, VS2017 has just been released. Would be
interested in observations regarding speed improvements (if any) if
someone was daring enough to try it (hint hint).

offline installer:

Do you have the "Windows XP Support for C++" component of VS 2015
installed? I'm sure our project files need it, and although I never
tested what /exactly/ happens when it's missing, the symptoms appear to
be at least in the right ballpark to potentially fit that bill.
Alternatively something might have gone wrong with the installation of
the updated Windows C++ runtime library. Check to see whether you have
the following directory on your machine:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10586.0
