Trying to find a Mac installer for a windows based software - I haven't been able to find one yet.
My next thought is to have them install a hypervisor and create a windows based machine in the hypervisor and install the software there. than they'd have to spin up the VM and run the software.. and these aren't the brightest people..
decisions decisions. -

decisions decisions.With Mac, the hypervisor can be completely transparent to the user. You put a desktop icon for the Windows software on the main desktop, and the user never even knows they're running under a different OS.
Of course, you have to pay for the hypervisor(s) that enable that for Mac. Just a cost of using the platform.

This only works on legacy Mac, right? Or does Rosetta support this? Although that's like a double VM.

We had it setup on one of the iMac with the new non-Intel CPU the end of last year at a client. So yes, it does work on old and new.

That was going to be my recommendation.
A close second would be VMware Fusion.

Windows software running without Windows AND without AMD64 hardware would be a challenge of epic proportions. I think if someone had a Windows emulator that didn't even require PC hardware that it would be much bigger news.
