I'm afraid I don't know where you could find them, but did you try the
collector's edition?  It's modified to run on Windows, even XP though
you'll also need either fOdder's graphics patch or Xcomutil (which
includes said graphics patch).  Runs fine on my XP computer.  The
scrolling on the geoscape is a little fast, but it's workable.
