If you don't have the money available for a commercial virtual PC, I have had pretty good success with QEMU.
See http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ for more details.

Create a Virtual PC, set it up just the way you want and then enable "Undo Disks". Then, test your installer on the Virtual PC and when you shutdown the Virtual, you have the option of committing the changes to the disk, undoing the changes or saving the changes. If you pick Undo, your Virtual PC's disk is back exactly the way it was before you booted. We currently have 6 Virtual PC images that we use for testing our installers. Each one is a different base configuration so we can test our installer on a machine that doesn't have the .NET Framework or SQL etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
