Something I didn?t say explicitly that has caused some

We are an ESX 5.5 environment. None of our servers are physical, save for
the ESX server. Also, when I said ?bare-metal? earlier, what I really meant
was that the remote site runs ESX and will bring up our VMs.
Aww jeez. So when you said "bare metal" you actually meant "NOT bare
metal"?
So, when I say that I may need to spool up a VM to run
this software, I
really mean another VM inside ESX.
A separate VM on the host machine with XP and the app should be
entirely doable. I strongly suggest enabling the ePosReady 2009
security tweak, though:

Getting an XPMode VM into it will be tricky, though. A reinstall might
be necessary.
Or I may put Virtual Box w/ XP or Windows 98 on the
2012 VM.
That would be significantly inefficient and I would not recommend it myself.
