I may be missing your goal with this, but, it looks like these

VMWare is great. However (if I understand the creation of virtual
appliances correctly), it carries with it a HUGE overhead because it
wraps
up the entire OS with your virtual appliance. Virtual appliances
created
for/from VMWare also require a license for every copy if you
distribute any
proprietary operating system (like Windows XP, Vista, 2003 Server,
etc.) in
your virtual appliance - that's why virtually every virtual appliance
you
see is done with Linux.

Here's a backwards way of doing it, but it might work. (disclaimer: I
haven't done this, its only a suggestion for research) I know that gcc
can be used as a cross compiler. See if it can compile IL into a win32
binary. If so, you want to have it build a statically linked win32 exe.
That is essentially what you're looking for. (You may need Mono to do
this... don't really know)
