create a VM from a SETUP.exe file

I downloaded an ISO from Visual Studio for Windows XP. I setup my Workstation Pro 16 to point to that ISO (selecting "I will load OS later"), but it won't install. Looking in the ISO, I see a SETUP.EXE file. Is there a way to get this to load? I've tried many different ways with no luck.

Thanks

Well, you downloaded the Visual Studio installation disc, not an Operating System installation disc.  You will need to install Windows XP first, then load the VS installer and run it's setup.exe.
