dos4gw.exe hangs in MS-DOS VM

I'm using VmWare Workstation 16.1 in VBS mode (hyper-V compatible).

Recently I've created MS-DOS VM. When I'm trying to run any dos4gw.exe (like doom2.exe) application it hangs.
I've tryed both 'MS-DOS' and 'Other' OS selections.

When I'm trying Hyper-V VM with the same settings and floppy image - it works.

Is this a bug, or is there .vmx advanced option to fix it?

Found workaround:
If I'll run pminfo.exe or dos32a.exe first then dos4gw.exe works!

This looks like a mystery...
