Review the Endpoint Security Homepage for the most recent information about supported operating systems: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solut...
As of E86.70:

• Windows 7 is (still) supported
• Windows XP is not supported

What is the important question here ? EPS client will not be running as it does not support the OS version, so it does not matter if i can install it or not as this will be time lost only...

Even if we allowed installation on Windows XP, it was surely never tested.
Even if current versions allow installation, it may not work correctly or at all.
The last versions with explicit support for Windows XP (E80.xx) were End of Life in 2019 whereas Windows XP itself was made End of Life in 2014.
They also cannot be installed any longer due to some issues with certificate validation.
