The WIS/ASRA + EPC disks contain a complete Windows XP Virtual Machine. The installer disk has a freebie version of VMWare on it for Windows machines. Mac users can pick up a version of VMWare or VMWare Fusion to do the same thing.

The disks (There are 4 of them) contain a highly compressed file that will expand into the VM itself. Expect to have ~50GB free on the machine you want to run it on.

Once you get it set up and running, it contains a full version of the WIS/ASRA and EPC operating environments. I have a copy of this software and can confirm that it does work. Please note that it is NOT a substitute for the FSM, many of the diagrams and drawings are of poor/overly-compressed quality compared to the FSM available through StarTek or CD. The WIS is very useful for getting hold of procedures and getting lists of steps required to do particular tasks. Searching through it is very tedious and things you want to look for are often mis-labeled or under alternative titles. Whoever did the English implementation just phoned it in.
