Q: OS X Mavericks and Windows Vista?

I have recently upgraded to OS X Mavericks from Snow Leopard, and cannot run any of my applications because they all require Power PC. I have installation disks from Windows Vista, 2000 Professional and XP... but it seems that the present version of Bootcamp Assistant can only create partitions of Windows 7 or later. Is there any way to install a later version of Bootcamp (Vista requires 4, from what I understand), which would allow me to install a partition of Vista that I could run my programs in?

 

Bootcamp delivers an error stating "Earlier versions of Windows are not supported," I would rather not have to backtrack and reinstall an older OS (Mountain Lion) in order to install... Anyone out there have a solution to install?
