Why can't my Ansible server not communicate with my Windows XP machine? [closed]

Ansible's official documentation says Windows XP is not a supported os, however, for every day that goes by I'm even more certain you could make it work.

The server is a CentOS 7 machine. I can establish a SSH connection to the Windows XP machine from my server and vice versa.

This is my Ansible hosts file entry for the Windows XP machine:

[winxp]
10.0.2.4

[winxp:vars]
ansible_user=nico
ansible_connection=ssh
ansible_port=22

This is the output when executing ansible winxp -m win_ping:

10.0.2.4 | UNREACHABLE! => {
      "changed": false,
      "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ----USAGE WARNING---- This is a private computer system.

      Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).", "unreachable": true }

Why does it say "Failed to connect to the host via ssh:" when it can perfectly do so outside of Ansible?

Adding this line to the hosts file doesn't change anything:

ansible_ssh_server_cert_validation='ignore'

And adding the line ansible_password=xxxx and executing the same command shows the following output:

10.0.2.4 | UNREACHABLE! => {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ",
    "unreachable": true
}

Does anyone have any idea? Is it really impossible? Do I need a specific python version, powershell version, or anything else installed on the Windows XP machine?

EDIT: WORKAROUND FOR THIS
So, as mentioned on the answer, Ansible can't be used on Windows XP. However, there is a workaround for this. You can create a playbook that runs commands on the Windows XP machine using sshpass, and run that playbook on the same Ansible machine. Here is the playbook I used:

---
- hosts: ansible_server
  tasks:
    - name: Test
      shell: sshpass -p 'nico' ssh [email protected] "cmd.exe /c mkdir C:\it_works"

Hope this can help someone

Even if you manage to get ssh to connect successfully, Ansible requires PowerShell 3.0, which does not work on Windows XP. It needs 2008/Vista or later. You don't need to waste any more time with trying to make it work.
