I also had this problem. Installed with Bootcamp instead.

It does not support virtual machine:

---- from install docs: http://www.zxwtools.com/download_file.aspx?id=11 ----
Special Note: Please be noted that ZXW dongle is restricted to use on 15 computers (Max)! Don’t use it on other computers randomly, and it cannot be used on more than one computer at the same time! It does not support virtual machine!

Thanks!

Can't use Boot Camp as I run a Hackintosh.... The only Apple hardware I use is keyboard and trackpad.
Looks like I'll have to use Windows to Go USB stick, no way I'm dual booting my beloved machine with Windows! Just hope it will be OK with a portable windows image.

Cheers :)

You could probably dual boot your hackintosh with cameleon bootloader or equivalent

Legacy is dead. I use Clover UEFI.... I've been Hackintoshing laptops and desktops for customers for about 2 years now by remote access. It's more a case that I refuse to have Windows on my machine. I did Windows tech support for a while and never-a-fucking-gain will I do that hellhole shit can job. I HATE windows and I don't like Apple or their products so I Hack and Hack as a service.... Patch ACPI code and blah blah. Still waiting for the i-police to come through my door with flashing helmets and £800 finger print reading capacative touch screen hand cuffs stuck together with glue and fucking sticky tape!... Just like all the other crap they sell. Hey maybe I'll get off lightly and be under house arrest with an i-tag that tells me how many steps I took that day. Sorry for the rant :)..... But what a load of old bollocks man!

Oh, I should probably add something useful. I created a Windows to go drive and I run ZXWTools from that, on an old, old, iMac G5 gutted and Hacked into a PC and run as a Hackintosh. I still refuse to put windows on anything. Even that.... So yeah, Windows to go drive did the trick.
