Unable to program FPGA on Duo

Papilio Duo. Have Windows 10, for which the only ISE available is a virtual machine that runs on Oracle VM. I can run designLab on Win 10 and it will load AVR programs, but not FPGA. I cannot figure out how ISE on the VM  would communicate with the DesignLab on Win 10.

I have tried that VM, and cannot seem to get it to talk to the host machine USB interface. (some kind of libftdi problem)

Can run DesignLab on Win 10 - but it won't load to  the FPGA/ZPUino.

Ran Windows 7 as a VM - it also will not talk to the USB-just hangs during upload.

Has anyone found a combination that works for Windows 10, and allows FPGA to be loaded, (even just the Duo Quickstart example)?

No need to use the Oracle VM to run ISE on Win10, just follow these steps:

1) Install ISE14.7 for Windows (Embedded Edition) on your Win10 computer
2) Go to C:\Xilinx\14.7\ISE_DS\ISE\lib\nt64 (assuming 64-bit Win10) and rename libPortability.dll to libPortability_orig.dll
3) Make a copy of libPortabilityNOSH.dll and rename it libPortability.dll
4) Go to C:\Xilinx\14.7\ISE_DS\EDK\lib\nt64 and rename libPortability.dll to libPortability_orig.dll
5) Copy libPortability.dll from C:\Xilinx\14.7\ISE_DS\ISE\lib\nt64 to C:\Xilinx\14.7\ISE_DS\EDK\lib\nt64
6) Run ISE and install your license file etc.

You should now have a working version of ISE on your Win10 computer.
