GPIB-USB-HS on Virtualized Windows 11/ARM on Apple Silicon MBP?

Hi! Is this possible? I have Windows 11 for ARM installed in VMWare Fusion 13.0.2 on my 2023 M2 Max-based MacBook Pro 16", for testing purposes, and one of the things we're testing is the ability to use our GPIB-USB-HS adapter. 

 

I installed the driver and utility package from:

 

https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-488-2.html#467646

 

and when I rebooted the VM, it bluescreened (or the Win11 equivalent thereof). Win 11 hadn't done a System Restore point before the installation, so I'm reinstalling Win 11 now 😡, and before I try this again 😬 I want to see if this is even possible.

 

Has anyone else attempted this?

Nope, NI drivers do not work as intended within VM.
