Long time ago I tried to use GDS2 in VMware. After of fails I give it up and I installed it in native windows.
I don't remember whic was the last GDS2 version that works under XP. As I know all goes to Windows 7 or 10.
Also I have just a genuine MDI not a MDI2
Please share some pics to see your issue to understand better.
Good luck

All my MDI's are genuine from Opel dealers. 
I don't know why this VM GDS2 comes with XP, but it reaches until 2016 cars, so is relatively recent.
With MDI 1 works good. The reason I want MDI 2 is because is a much more robust tool, don't use the weak usb connection that MDI 1 uses, and has the WIFI expansion. 
What disturbs me is that under VM, MDI manager shows MDI 2 correctly (and I am talking always with cable), but once in GDS2 happens what I 
told before.

Tomorrow I will make some pics.

I can take a look by Team Viwer if you like.
I did a test for you ( for me just cusriosity ) and I installed Global Tis v32 in Win 7 Ultimate X64
Works ok all what I tested. So I think that in this case you can install GTis, tech2win and GDS2 latest version under native installation of Win 7 X64
Good luck

I did so many combinations that I don't really know what works on what exactly. 

GTis 32 as database works ok with win 7 64 that's for sure. But the only laptop I have with win7 64 bit never managed to do SPS and GDS installed from Tis2Web properly, somethig I achieve when I do it on a Win  7 32bit.
But I need Win7 64 bit to run the VM machine for the GDS2 so... what I did is an old Laptop just for SPS and database on Windows XP with a Diagnostic tool downgraded to version 7.xxx (what comes with the installator) and the other just for Tech2Win and GDS2 on Windows 7 64 bit on a newer 8.x.... wich comes with VM GDS2.

And I find curious that MDI Manager and MDI's must have exactly the same version, otherwise you get an "update" warning and the tool is basically blocked under that environment

I will paly a littel bit in this evening to see if the SPS Programming is working using Global Tis v32
I will test Tech2win and GDS2 too
I am using it for a long just in win 7 X86 and I also have Global Tis in Xp
SPS Programming did it today using XP and Win 7
Good luck

The only thing I have not tested, is a Win7 64 bit with the original 7.x.x.x driver with usually comes with the package. Maybe is the reason SPS doesn't work, because maybe it needs the 7.x.x.x version

And I Could be wrong, but I think this MDI Manager 7.x.x.x. doesn't detect MDI II ....

No you need the latest GM MDI version installed in X64 system
v7.xxxxxx was released before win 7 so it will not works

I did a SPS Programming using Gtis v32 in win7 Ultimate X64
Tech2win and GDS2 working too

I also did SPS Programming using Gtis v32 in win 10 X64
Also did diagnostic usin Tec2win and GDS2
Good luck
