   Nope, something called "otvdm".   
      
   From: http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/otvdm.html   
      
   "A programmer who calls himself or herself otya128 has adapted the Wine ("Wine   
   Is Not an Emulator") software into a system called winevdm (also otvdm) so that   
   old Windows programs (including installation programs) can run in 64-bit   
   Windows as if they were ordinary modern Windows programs. With this system   
   installed, you can simply double-click on these old Windows programs and launch   
   them in the same way that you launch modern Windows programs. Under this   
   system, these old programs can open files in the same way that modern Windows   
   applications do, and many (but not all) applications that were designed to send   
   data to a printer can print to any Windows printer."   
      
   I use the "Inno Setup" version that is mentioned on that page.
