Hi everyone!
To start off, I don't know if this is even remotely the right use case for this project. If it isn't, I apologize, and you can tell me to sod off :)
I'm looking to run an app that requires a display (specifically, Squish, a GUI testing framework) on a Windows VM managed through Hyper-V.
My search has led me from discussions with their support ("it's impossible"), through trying to run the exe via Xvfb in WSL (no luck), to, now, this place.
Quick background: Connecting to the VM via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) works fine; I can see Squish starting the application-under-test with its GUI and everything.
However, just running Squish through a terminal (e.g. via SSH) fails, since there's no display.
Can this driver can be used so that I don't need to connect via RDP at all, but still have a "display"?
Driver installation was successful (it's now listed right below the Microsoft Remote Display Adapter when I connect through RDP), but it doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect. Squish still fails to discover the GUI application.
I also can't check the Windows display settings; it just shows "The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
Thanks for taking the time!
