@tusooa ok so basically i copied sol.exe (and cards.dll, because solitaire wont run without it) from a 64-bit installation of windows xp (it wouldnt work for some reason if i copied from 32-bit xp) to a floppy disk image, then mounted said disk image on my windows 10 vm
then i booted into setup, pressed shift+f10 to get to a command prompt and ran a:\sol.exe
hopefully i did a good enough job explaining this; if not, oh well
