You can use Microsoft Virtual PC (free download from their site), install Windows 95 or 98 on a virtual machine and then run the game on it.

Bloody complex but should work.

Make an ISO image of the disc. Virtual PC has an internal CD emulator, BTW.

Hmmm.. Virtual PC looks good... Looks like a bigger version of DOSBox for win9x :bleh:

One question on Virtual PC: when downloading/installing does it check if your Windows OS is "genuine"? Download.com & softpedia.com have older trial versions...

Even if it does while installing, shouldn't do any harm unless you let it access the internet when the firewall asks for it (I assume you have firewall like everyone should). As for downloading, it wouldn't be possible during the download itself, but you can always see before it if there's something about your OS check mentioned, and cancel the thing.
