For the record, Xara X¹ requires Microsoft XMLv4 and GDI+ to run.

You could try installing XML4 separately on your Win4Lin platform... I have no idea if this will succeed.

At the moment, the download installer will fail if it cannot download GDI+ on OSes other than Windows XP. GDI+ is "just" a DLL...

The CD installer has these components on the disk, so it does not need to perform any download, but these components are still needed by the software.
