Can Player create Win98/Win95 VM's?

I'm trying to create Win 98 and Win95 VM's using the latest version of Player. Is this even possible? No matter what I try, creation fails. I get:    
    
PXE-E51: No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received.    
    
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.    
Operating System not found     
    

I've tried this on Win 7 64 and 8.1 64 computers with the current version of Player. I can create and run VM's of other OS's on both of these PC's.

Yes that should work fine!

But I do not believe that Windows 95/98 was able to boot from the ISO, you probably need to have boot floppys.

OK Thanks.

Just wanted to be sure I did not need Workstation or Fusion or something to be able to do this before I spent a lot of time trying to do something not even possible.
