It's not Microsoft software, so yes, it should. Only Microsoft seems to have trouble implementing software on some versions of their own OS :)

Right click on app / Properties / Compatibility,
Choose to run the app under win xp sp 3 and don't forget to run as administrator

Nahh, it doesnt work for every software. There is got to be another way. By rhe way, the windows xp virtual doesnt work on every windows 7 version.

If that doesn't work, then there's not much you can do except install another virtual environment and install XP on there. Or dual boot 7 and xp.

I use VirtualBox to run WinXP (x32) on both my Win7 and Ubuntu partitions (both x64), for browser testing. Never had an issue with it.
