Using Midi with another software on same device

[dustindl]

Hello, I cannot find any documentation to assist with trying to send midi messages from one software on the same computer to show express. I want Pro Presenter (which has midi send/ receive capability) to send a note to show express, but to do so pro presenter needs to first "see" the midi controller to link it in setup. This renders the learn button useless. How do I get show express to connect virtually to this software?
