    I have Parallel Tools Ver 6 and every time I load Parallel it tells me that the my version of Parallel Tools is outdated and I need to update it. I click on the update button and nothing happens.

    I manually went to the Library/Parallels/tools folder on my mac to start Tools but near the end it says there was an error and needs to roll back to a previous version.

    Please help

    Exact same problem here.

    MBP
    Parallels Build 6.0.12106
    (Revision 692267; September 7, 2011)

    After update, parallels tools partially installs, then reverts. Coherence mode not available.

    Anyone else?

    Same issue, on Lion, the update to Build 6.0.12106 (Revision 692267; September 7, 2011) hangs. I killed the install and retried but now it says waiting on another install to complete. This update is hosed.

    What happens if you uninstall Parallels Tools from Windows, restart Windows and then allow Parallels to automatically install Parallels Tools (or try to)?

    This should work fine.

    +1 Thanks megavolt17 and craig, this worked for me too.

    I had to use the instructions on this page to uninstall ptools http://kb.parallels.com/8969

    and then the reinstall wouldn't proceed automatically so I had to locate the installer, which was showing up as a local drive in windows explorer.
