Failing that you could try using Virtualbox.

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?
