Download the embedded version here. It will be slower than running it at boot or in VMware Player.

Remember that VMware Player only works with Windows 2000/XP/2003. That means you can't use the vmx images.

I am not sure if DSL embedded (QEMU emulator) will work on Windows 98. I know that it has given people problems when trying to run on Windows 95.

The only wat to know for sure is to try it.
