I see that dispcal will use dispwin for some operations before calibration,
but the video card in VMWare seems to be very basic, it cannot be accessed
properly for that ? (guessing)
Here's the debug of my last try :
C:\Argyll_V1.0.1>cd bin
C:\Argyll_V1.0.1\bin>dispcal -D -v -yl -t6000 -g2.20 testprofile
MonitorEnumProc() called with hMonitor = 0x10001
MonitorEnumProc() set initial monitor info: 0,0 1916,1049 name
'\\.\DISPLAY1'
get_displays about to get monitor information for 0
EnumDisplayDevices failed on '\\.\DISPLAY1' Mon = 0
get_displays added description 'DISPLAY1, at 0, 0, width 1916, height 1049
(Primary Display)' to display 0
