I don't know the Microtek software but, if it can produce raw 16 bit scans
to file, one option is to use it to produce raw scans and then use
Vuescan to process the image.  This doesn't need Vuescan to actually
see the scanner.

Not ideal but this approach would at least give you an indication of
Vuescans abilities and whether its worth continuing to try to get it
working directly with the scanner.

Hope this helps,
