There are a number of things that could have gone wrong, and unfortunately that error message doesn’t give much info :-/.

Try extracting the files into a clean directory? If you’ve got a bad save folder, it can sometimes cause crashes on start-up (yeah, we know we need to work on that). And if you’re missing certain data files, it might cause a crash as well (or might not, I’m not sure).

I run XP. So it is possible.

Which version did he use? If you compile it yourself you should use the codeblocks method.
