    I can`t update the Parallels Tools in the new Beta 1862. I get this fatal error message:

    I even get the same message when I try to unsinstall the old Parallels Tools from the last official version of Parallels Desktop.

    BTW, the german sentence below means: The system couldn`t find the mentioned file.

    Can anybody help me please?

    I just installed the tools and now XP keeps crashing a few seconds after it boots.

    It probably has something to do with a mounted USB flash drive that was a parallels shared folder. After I removed it, it seems to finish the booting without a crash for a few minutes now.

    I cannot install Parallels tools either but it does not even try.

    I got to VM Menu, select install Parallels Tools click on it and NOTHING, nada, zero reaction.

    If I look again it has changed to cancel installing Parallels Tools but nothing seems to be happening in/on the VM.

    PLEASE, does anyone have any ideas?

    My integration with Virtue is completely broken. I can no longer switch between desktops whilst still in full screen mode. I have enabled access for assistive devices in the system preferences pane also. Please somebody help out!

    Everything works fine with me... did you re-boot after install?

    Installing Parallels tools in new Beta doesn`t work

    Yes. I still get the fatal error message when I try to install the new Parallels Tools in Beta 1862.

    I also get this message when trying to uninstall the old Parallels Tools in the new Beta 1862 or after reinstalling the last official release 1848.

    what is a stripped down version? I bought a boxed version of XP professional and installed that.

    Do you have in configuration Cd-Rom device? Or autorun Cd is off? You may try to manually install parallels Tools from .iso file /Library/Parallels/Tools/vmtools.iso.

    Thanks a lot for you help pazu.

    I solved the problem - but I had to name it "RunOnce" instead of "Run" because "Run" existed already and "RunOnce" was mentioned in the fatal error message.

    Now it works. I could install the new Paralles Tools.

    BTW, I also have an official XP Home edition and nothing from the net.

    Anyway, big thanks again.

    I just edited my last post so don`t get confused about the old quote above.
    "RunOnceEx" doesn`t need to be erased.



    My USB Smartcard Reader SCR 335 finally works. Wow. Great.

    So Good bye Boot Camp. Hello 5 more GB`s :) .

    Brilliant thanks.

    Manually attached the iso file, installed the updates and now working much better but I still cannot figure out why it would not work from the menu.

    Many thanks again.
