I have a Visual Basic 4 application that I need to run on modern 64-bit
hardware I can do this in a VM, but I really need this VM to be wicked
small, like under a gig. The smallest XP VM I?ve seen is 600MB (which might
be good) but XP is becoming very hard to source these days.
I am bummed that there doesn?t seem to be something like vDOS or DOSBOX for
VB applications. Or? maybe there is?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about doing this?

DOSBOX can run older Windows versions; if this is VB4 I imagine it will
run on Win 3.1, if not that try Windows 95. You should be able to build
a VM running either of those in well under 100mb.
