A. Sorry, but right now you can't do this. ZAV is "by Windows, for Windows". This means, in its current state, you can only virtualize Windows applications to run on Windows machines. You cannot virtualize applications from any other platform--Linux (which would include SUSE), Mac/Apple, Unix, and so forth. You also cannot virtualize a Windows application to run on another platform (meaning a virtual Windows application will not run on Linux, Mac, etc...).

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
