You can install 'you' (sic) old programs but not on the live CD. You would have to make 'you' own image from an install and then create an ISO and/or burn it to disc. It might be better to test/build in a virtual environment.

You do know ReactOS is in Alpha and what that means?

I think it will be a challenge to install it while using the Live CD, since it won't copy to your CD while you are using it. Live CD is intended just for testing at the moment (and the whole thing to be honest). So you'd likely want to install ReactOS and then install your programs. On really old programs, installation is often not required. Just go to the folder on whatever media and run the executable from there.

And you might need to run our NTVDM (enter "command" to get there to run "command.com" like in DOS).
