Parallels Transporter Agent 14: won't run on Win XP

I am running Parallels 14, and would like to move a Win XP installation on a separate PC into Parallels as a VM. Supposedly, I can run Parallels Transporter Agent on the Win XP box, and get this done via network or a USB drive. However, when I run the Agent on Win XP, I get the following error.

"The procedure entry point GetUserPreferredUILanguages could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

I did a bit of look around, and it seems the problem might be from the Qt library that is calling a function that is for Vista and above, not XP. Has anyone run into a similar problem? I would like to keep this WinXP installation for some legacy programs. I tried installing a new WinXP VM, but it seems the activation server at Microsoft is no longer available, so I cannot even install a fresh WinXP VM.
 
Hi @KamF, I've found several steps for this issue resolution (For WinXP), so please try the following:

Please run System File Checker to check for missing or corrupt files.
Click the Start Menu and hover your mouse over All Programs, then however your mouse over Accessories and select Command Prompt. Then type in sfc /scannow and press enter.
Please run Disk Check to check for bad sectors.
Click the Start Menu and hover your mouse over All Programs, then however your mouse over Accessories and select Command Prompt. Then type in chkdsk volume:/r and press enter.

Then let us know the results. If you get any error message during or after executing commands above, please provide us with it.
