    has anyone successfully launched AIM in a virtual Machine envoronment?  I'm getting VMWare 8.0 graphics card complaints, thusly AIM won't launch.

    Since AIM requires DirectX 10 it will not run in a VM... :-(

    Is this still the case?  With AIM 2013 R2?  How about with "InfraWorks"?  We would like to run Windows 7 based VM's in a Hyper-V environment utilizing RemoteFX with an external GPU. Does AIM / InfraWorks support the vGPU environment to allow the hardware acceleration?

     

    thanks!
