I use parallels 7.X and ubuntu 11.4 and each time I try to install the parallels tools I am getting error you do not have permission to run this please exit? see this picture http://awesomescreenshot.com/017jthfe9
Thanks for the screen shot, it helps a lot. Open Terminal and run installation script with sudo: $ sudo ./install
You should run the install script from Terminal as root: 1) Open a terminal shell (control-alt-T) 2) cd /media/Parallels\ Tools/ 3) sudo ./install
