I tried virt-install and got as far as the following:

What is the virtual CD image, CD device or install location?
/media/WXPVOL_EN/SETUP.EXE


Starting install...
libvir: QEMU error :
libvir: QEMU error :
libvir: QEMU error :

Domain installation may not have been
 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
 by running 'virsh start VirtualXP'; otherwise, please
 restart your installation.
