Problem installing Parallels 5 in Snow Leopard

We have 3 copies of Parallels 5 to install on 3 new i-macs. First 2 installations went fine. 3rd went through install process and when it came time to click the Restart button, we clicked it and got the Install Failed message. Thinking it might be the disc, we tried one of the other disc that had successfully installed. No luck. This is a brand new computer with no software installed yet that might conflict with the installation.

Any one else have this issue?

Thanks

 

I have to ask:

Was it Parallels that failed to install, or was it your VM that failed to install?

It was the parallels application itself. On the other 2 identical new imacs we were able to install both parallels and the windows 7 VM.

 

Hi Justin,

You should first make sure that you uninstalled Parallels completely,
see see knowledgebase article: http://kb.parallels.com/en/4709

restart your computer before you try the reinstall.

Hope this helps

The uninstall app finds nothing to uninstall but I followed the steps with the cmd line, restarted, tried the install again, and got the same result. Error is as follows:
