ImgBurn was convenient for creating that ISO: insert the CD into the computer and choose the “Create image file from disc” option. WikiHow advised starting with a 32-bit WinXP ISO, extracted if necessary from a Windows XP installation CD. I began with a search for sources of advice. It appeared that virtualizers like Cameyo might not register that a file was added, or needed, for a certain program, if that file was already present and thus was not a new addition that would be detected in the virtualizer’s before-and-after comparison of the system state. Moreover, uninstalling did not always remove all files associated with a program. It might not be feasible to detect and uninstall all processes that had previously been set in motion.
Note: it seemed that, to get a clean machine, it might not be good enough to take an existing Windows XP installation or VM and uninstall programs from it. A later post provides an overview of the steps discussed here. This post presents the steps I took to that end. As described in another post, I needed to set up a basic Windows XP virtual machine (VM) in Oracle VirtualBox, so as to have a place to use Cameyo.
