As jazzynico mentioned before, MSYS2's programs themselves seem to work on Windows XP, and you can actually try moving the files to an XP computer. If MSYS2's pacman also works on XP, you should be able to live and build with it for a while before some core MSYS2 dll updates (a new installer run) becomes necessary.

I am somehow thinking about running it "the wine way", i.e. creating a fake kernel32.dll with a stub for CancelSynchronousIo to make Windows XP happy with the installer. That seems to require some injection magic and consequently an "installer launcher". Um, no.
