Windows 7 xp mode (virtual pc) in my win7-ultimate-32 bit

[auditorp]

i am trying to create a XP mode in win7-ultimate-32 bit to run my legacy 16-bit programs.

i have downloaded 4 files:

file 1: WINDOWSXPMODE_EN-US.EXE (492,597,008)
file 2: WINDOWS6.1-KB958559-X64-REFRESHPKG.MSU (17,091,624)
file 3: WINDOWS6.1-KB958559-X64.MSU (10,352,728)
file 4: WINDOWS6.1-KB958559-X86-REFRESHPKG.MSU (16,070,039)

(btw: i assume the files downloaded are ok for the xp mode in virtual pc)
(if not, where can i download the proper files - please give me links other than from microsoft)

in my win7-ultimate-32 bit system:
i clicked on WINDOWSXPMODE_EN-US.EXE file & finished the installation.
then, i clicked on WINDOWS6.1-KB958559-X86-REFRESHPKG.MSU file & finished the installation
i restarted the system
i clicked on start-all programs, but there was no Windows Virtual Pc folder
WHERE AM I GOING WRONG ? HAVE I CLICKED THE WRONG FILES.

Windows 7 32-bit has a 16-bit emulator. 16-bit applications should run just fine in Windows 7 32-bit. There is no need in having XP Mode to run 16-bit applications in Windows 7 32-bit. It's Windows 7 64-bit that does not emulate 16-bit, instead Windows 7 64-bit has emulation for 32-bit.

many thanks for your inputs.
i know 16 bit programs run on win7-32 (i have been running them since the last 3 years)
I WANT MY 16-BIT TO RUN ON A WIN7-64 (btw: i am not shouting, just emphasising)
THUS, THE NEED TO INSTALL A VIRTUAL XP MODE.
i am just doing some r&d on my win7-32 system, eventually i need to run my softwares on win7-64 bit.
