It's not a crash, it's Qt since 5.8 no more supports for Windows XP, and referred missing function is exists in kernel32.dll since Windows Vista.

So, I think, you can re-download laboratory build for now and retry:
  • PGE Engine (no more uses Qt, but not tested on Windows XP after reworks)
  • GIFs2PNG (tested and works)
  • LazyFixTool (tested and works)
  • PNG2GIFs (tested and works)

The solution is usage of Qt 5.7 to build Editor, MusPlayer, Maintainer and Calibrator to take them work on Windows XP
(I think, I'll setup AppVeyor to do two builds: on latest Qt version and on Qt 5.7 to provide Windows XP compatible builds)
But okay, for now I'll turn back Qt 5.7 for Windows because of this case, so, next laboratory update will take back support of Windows XP

EDIT: I has been toggled build machine to build with Qt 5.7 to repair support for Windows XP:
https://github.com/WohlSoft/PGE-Project/commit/8f ... 61a9bc452b9b36965721c7ae77c0cb
After approximately half of hour the new laboratory built will be uploaded, then you will be able to re-download it ;-)

EDIT2: Everything has been built! Feel free to try out!
