^^ Windows XP is quite old, and such type of problems will continue to occur on that. The support for Windows XP is already ended. I suggest you upgrade to modern operating system such as Windows 10 to completely resolve this error. Thanks for your understanding!

^^ You need to check installation logs to figure out what is preventing the installation. I would recommend you to share those logs to Microsoft Community’s Office forums. Unfortunately, I do not have any information about Office giveaway, so I couldn’t provide you the link you want.
