You can run Sculpt in VirtualBox, which should allow you to modify the 
installation on the USB stick, to create the hardware-probing 
instrument.  (I'm going to do this soon, myself.)

Quick note: Because of a bug in the 18.08 code, use the "PS/2 Mouse" 
pointing device for the guest VM, instead of one of the USB pointing 
devices.
