I use to run VB on a notepad running windows 10 and I run a WINXP VM ( I own the windows xp CD ).
I own fifteen CD which run only on windows XP.
I have copied all the cd as iso files on an usb stick.
I have install windows xp Magicdisk and then I can run any app without the need of extra hardware.
The notepad is an ultrabook acer s13 without cdrom.
My WINXP VM seems not to run anymore after VB 5.1.8
So I plan to run my app thru wine on a linux guest.
So I have installed a linux VM ( opensuse 42.2 ) on a usb key which contains also all the cd iso on a separate folder which is mounted as a shared folder. I plan to use a mount point on the same usb key.
Every things are on the usb stick :
The VDI file of the VM
The iso files
The mount point.
The command :
