I tried a Windows 11 VM installation of VS2019 and MS2019. It goes blue-screen on me during the MS2019 install. I only started using the VM after I had the same thing happen to me twice on a real machine (MS Surface Laptop 5). I didn't do anything special during my installation attempts. Each time I did the installation I installed fewer and fewer of the MS features. Your success gives me confidence that it is doable. I'll give it another try, but would appreciate any pointers you can think of.
When you say "driver support" do you mean the MS dlls or the DAQmx hardware drivers? I haven't been playing with DAQmx drivers yet, but I have some confidence that they are going to be no problem.
I've spent just a little time working with the NI MS dlls outside of MS and found I get license errors. I once read how to implement the MS library of dll manually, it sounded complicated. I was thankful for the MS Extension's automation to keep the dlls up-to-date. The extension also had a license fixer, that I used from time to time. The License file can also be a bear.
For me, the killer tool of MS is the Scatter Graph control. I use many of its features and I'm concerned that I won't be able to find anything comparable.
Thanks for the commiseration.
