We have just uploaded the new version 5.1.6.1, if things go well then it works again on Windows XP (as opposed to 5.1.6.0)
On my test machines with XP it worked -> please test and give us feedback if it works on other XP machines
For the technical interested here are the details:
Microsoft has a bug in Visual Studio SP2 not still resolved (I have my doubts if this will ever happen)

Fortunately, there is now a workaround found on Ted's blog:
