Hi Michael, Sorry, I should have also mentioned some sighted assistance may be required to create the initial virtual machine. I have successfully done it on my own using an uninattended install script--as you yourself mentioned---but if the person runs into problems sighted help is necessary. The other option I can think of--not really recommended for legal reasons--is to grab a Windows XP VMWare Player image from a torrent and once you get it setup and working change the product key, user accounts, and other personal info in the registry so you aren't running a pirated copy. Those are the only two ways to avoid having sighted assistance for this.
Cheers!
