You don't say anything about your system, so I don't know if my experience is appropriate, but I was unable to reproduce your experience.
I have a Windows 10 (64-bit) PC with LabVIEW 2021 (32-bit) installed. I did not have the FTDI Driver for I2C SPI GPIO installed. Here's my experience:
After this, I opened LabVIEW, and opened a blank VI. In the Block Diagram view, I could find a FTDI LabVIEW Driver Library in the "AddOns" Palette.
I should mention that I am running LabVIEW Professional, and have installed the LabVIEW Real-Time Module and "ordinary" LabVIEW Drivers (DAQmx, VISA, PXI Platform Services).
Based (solely) on my own experience, there seems to be nothing complicated or problematic in installing the FTDI package using VIPM with a PC having LabVIEW 2021 (32-bit) installed. My suspicion is that your LabVIEW installation is faulty.
Repairing a LabVIEW installation is fraught with difficulty. I've tried many times (starting with LabVIEW 7 and "giving up" around LabVIEW 2015) to do such a "repair", rarely with success. I now do the following:

Hello Bob,
Thanks for all the great ideas. My system has LabVIEW, VIPM 2019 64 bit. I also tried older system with LabVIEW 2016 64 bit and VPIM 2019 and that one errors at the beginning then acts like it is installing then no errors at end. I'm sure the problem in on my local PC's. I'll try the steps you suggested.

There is a very good chance that the VIPM package is not prepared to deal with LabVIEW 64-bit. Unfortunately VIPM doesn't provide very good ways to do this as you can only select if the whole package is either 32-bit or 64-bit or bit independent but not that individual files should or shouldn't be installed on a specific bitness platform.

I found another driver from ovak technologies that claimed to install correctly. It even said D2XX driver and VCP driver installed.
However COM3 is a resource option but no sign of 2XX being a resource.
I'm more than happy to just send an receive characters on a fake COM port. However, I have no info on using VCP commands via COM port. I'll start a new post that that.
