I am somewhat surprised here,
Visual Studio C++ 2005 runtime only support Intel processor and never supported ARM 64-bit processor.
AFAIK Visual Studio C++ runtime 2012 was the first version supporting ARM 64-bit processor.
Apple M processors are part of the ARM 64-bit family.

You should not use ILPer and ILPILBox at the same time.

Setup between Emu71, ILPILBox, PIL-Box and 3421A

connect the HP-IL side of the PIL-Box to the 3421A
connect the USB side of the PIL-Box to the computer
in parallels desktop, map the new serial port in Windows (COMx)
start ILPILBox
- Fill in the following values in HP-IL Link section
  - Out TCP/IP address: localhost
  - Out Port: 60000
  - In Port: 60001
- Fill in the following values in PIL-Box Link section
  - set to the correct COMx port
- Press Start button
start Emu71
- select menu: Edit → Port Configuration
- in Port Configuration dialog, Port section
  - select Port 0 in Port drop down menu
  - press Add button
- in Port Configuration dialog, Configuration section
  - select HPIL in Module Type drop down menu
  - enter the HP-IL ROM filename in Filename text box (ex.: HPIL1B.BIN)
  - press TCP/IP Configuration Configure button
  - in HP-IL Interface Setup dialog, enter the following values:
    - Out TCP/IP address: localhost
    - Out Port: 60001
    - In Port: 60000
    - Press OK button
- in Port Configuration dialog, Port section
  - Press Apply button
  - Press OK button
- now do the following commands in Emu71:
  
  Code:
  
  RESET HPIL RESTORE IO CLEAR LOOP OUTPUT 1 ; "DCV5" ENTER 1 ; V DISP V
  Display the value from the acquisition unit
  
  Code:
  
  .066387

I have tried the above and it works.
