I have inherited an old legacy, custom program written in Fox Pro, running on Windows Server 2003, on an ancient box. The clients run on XP with undocumented uses of obsolete ODBC drivers, various harcoded mappings and substs, etc. Even though the company is closing, I need to keep it running for audit purposes. It is an old accounting program; no fancy graphics or special needs.
My plan was to to use eSXi and load both the Windows Server and the client XP as two virtual machines, running a virtual network. The two part time users would log into the client using LogMeIn, execute the programs on the client using the data and program from the server.
I do not know what VMware program I need. It appears eSXi does not support running a client on the same box as the server.
Where do I find out what I need? What is the difference beween the various flavors of the hypervisor 5.01 "i", "u", etc.?
Thanks,
Rick
