Question : Is there an equivilant of "XP Mode" for Terminal Server 2008 R2?

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 server running as a RD Session Host but one of our applications is only compatible with XP. So I am trying to figure out how I can get the application virtulaized so users can use the program through Remote Desktop Services on the RD Session Host so that is seamless. So is there an equivalent of XP mode for Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services?

Thanks

Couple options:
1. Use the App-V virtualization platform and sequence the application on an XP host and then use the 4.6 client on the 2008 R2 TS to run the app. This will work for sure.
2. Repackage the application using something like Winstall or Wise Studio. You would create the new MSI on an XP box and the simply deploy it on your 2008 TS.
3. If you right click the installer for the app (i.e. SETUP.EXE) and go to properties, do you see something for the compatibility mode?
