Have you already installed the game and tried if it works?

Right-click on the frontend.exe and check the version info in the properties.
1.0.1.5 is the latest version.

Maybe the compatibility mode can help too.

It may be the Russian version re-released by Russobit.
Maybe they have changed something that makes it incompatible with WIn XP.

If they have pre-patched it with the latest patches (W2 & WWP) the games should work in Win XP.
If they have not done that, I bet the patches available from T17 won't work with the Russian version.
And the beta updates for W:A too. :p

I'm find information in Internet. Some my compatriot got so problem, too. One of advices: take patch & update from Team17 site... But thanks them game will be on english...:)

...And then, Russobit make "Worms: Full Armory" ("Worms: Полный Боекомплект). It is collection of games. On one DVD-disc there are W2, W:A & W:WP. I hear that THESE games can work on XP...

*Edit*
I found DOS emulator... Will Worms go using it???
