[vtkusers] Failed to get wglChoosePixelFormatARB on VM

[Todd Martin]

Did you install GLEW on the virtual machine?

Getting the following errors when testing our app with VTK rendering on a Hyper-V virtual machine (works great on my laptop though):
 
  
 
ERROR: In C:\hg\sharedlibs\VTK-8.1.0\Rendering\OpenGL2\vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 685

vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow (000001D110ADE9F0): GLEW could not be initialized.
 
  
 
We’re using the vtkMFCWindow class and I don’t see any fallback options anywhere.
 
Is there any way this can default to software rendering on low end machines like this?
