[vtkusers] Failed to get wglChoosePixelFormatARB on VM

[Jesse Kinross-Smith]

So it looks like Microsoft’s VM’s only support OpenGL 1.1, and of course our library is built using OpenGL2.
Somehow I thought there’d be a fallback option in case it wasn’t supported, but this doesn’t seem to be the case.

☹

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):

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?
