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.

Sean
