No response by Parallels
31 days and no response to your post. I am having similar trouble.
Mine is a 27" iMac as well - OS X. It would not take the 32/64bit Win 7 Upgrade. So, I installed an old version of XP. It then would not accept the 64 bit, but did take the 32 bit Win 7. But, I have no sound, internet or any other networking ability. It seems logical that the 64 bit should get installed, but I can't figure out how to get it accepted. It replies that the 64 bit is incompatible... The overall lack of responses on this forum is not too helpful either.
After deleting the above virtual machine and trying to install the 64bit ver. I get the following.
"Windows cannot install required files. The files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for the installation are available, and restart the installation. Error Code: 0x80070017
