I'm reasonably sure that TestComplete works on a VM since we have about 5 VMs running on each of our 14 servers. We've been running our tests on these VMs for years now.
That said, Windows 8 or 8.1 VMs with TestComplete 9.31 is extremely problematic, exhibiting some remarkably unpredictable behaviors that seem to vary from machine to machine (I have yet to get object spy or .findall to work on that combination). 9.30 remains stable enough on Windows 8 and 8.1, on both physical and virtual machines.
As has been mentioned before, TestComplete must be installed on the VM, not the host machine. It's an easy mistake to make if you're new to automated testing.
Try a Windows 7 VM with TestComplete 9.30 installed on the VM if you can. That's been a very reliable combination for us.
Hope this helps.
