How can I run a Windows XP program on Windows 10?

I need to install a program on Windows 10 (Thomas Guide - a map program), but it was only supported through XP. In Windows 7, I can run a virtual machine of XP and run it through there, but Windows 10 doesn't seem to have any programs that do that.

I tried to right-click and run the installation file in Windows XP mode (both SP2 and SP3), but installation fails every time with the message '1628: installation failed'.

Anyone know any work arounds?
