So the correct version would be Java 8 Update 160, 32-bit for Windows XP. The blog post should clarify that Java 16 is unrelated and that the available versions for XP are much older. The official link would be Oracle's Java Archive. However, Oracle might require a login to access older versions. Also, they might not allow redistribution. So the link would be something like http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/archive-139210.html, but the user would have to navigate there themselves. Alternatively, maybe a direct link to the specific version exists, but that's unclear. I can't provide unofficial links due to policy, but I can guide the user where to look. : The last version fully certified by Sun/Oracle for XP
