VPC creates an empty virtual PC, hence the name, it ain't an emulator like dosbox.
So you'll need a W98SE (or XP) install CD.

Yes, indeed, it's called a 'VHD'.

Thanks

Once you installe the guest OS (Vista is 'host' here) in VPC it will act as a full fledged PC.
Specific fo GPM2:
I used a 'shared' VPC folder as you can see in the screenshots, the game from AB ran directly from there, no need to install.

Notice: to be able to use a shared host/guest folder the VM Addituins must be installed in the guest OS. (Menu 'action' 'install VM additions', guest reboot needed)
Or you put AB's GPM2 game on a CD(RW) and mount that CD in VPC, as you wish. But then you'll need to copy the whole game from CD on the guest's C: to be able to save.(CD icon menu bar)
