    Hi there, when I run the zip file it unzips but then disappear. Cannot get to the script part...

    Thanks for your suggestion, Robert! I sent it to the documentation team to possibly include it to KB.

    Hi - what happens when you follow the KB article mentioned above?

    Not sure what you mean... You run it before Parallels Desktop start and that's it - no need to run it several times during one session.

    This fix seems to get me rolling on 10.10 DP6 but it doesn't work on 10.9.5 (13F18) build that was released today. Exact same symptom was introduced there as well and no fix so far.

    Still Crashing after applying the workaround

    I am running Parallels 9 and when I execute sudo /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/Parallels\ Service.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_disp_service -e, it launches the service while returning the following:

    WARNING: QApplication was not created in the main() thread.

    After a few seconds it returns the following:
    QFileSystemWatcher::addPath: path is empty

    Once I start parallels, the pro_disp_service process ends and I get the same error code as before.

    I mean, do we have to leave the Terminal window open whilst we run Parallels as if I close Terminal, Parallel crashes.

    I don't mean running the command more than once.

    Like many of the users here, the workaround discussed in KB 122670 for Parallels 9.0.24237 does not work for me (I get the error messages in Terminal that are mentioned at the bottom of the KB). The related workaround mentioned in this thread, quickly re-executing the Terminal command, does, however, work for me. To simplify the process until a more permanent fix is released, I simply created a (very kludgey) shell script to do the workaround automatically. If it's of value to those of you for whom KB 122670 does not work, here's what the script does:

    Simply sudo the script from Terminal, enter your admin password at the prompt, and it should successfully open Parallels. I've found that, if I kill the final process, Parallels crashes so you'll need to allow that process to continue running.

    Just had this problem start this morning as well -- first time I've had any issue with Parallels and the Yosemite beta... I've done the same thing as above, full uninstall, reinstall, gone through the logs looking for anything.. duplicate framework does look like the issue but I can find no easy fix. Lucky for us the Parallels team seems to be great at keeping us all working :)

    Looking forward to a patch/beta/fix :)

    Yes, I would also like to know this. Can you quit terminal after Parallels launches?

    Do you think you could link that workaround to the error page you get (error 15381) when you try to start Parallels in this manner so that it's easier for people to find it.

    And please an update soon with a re-signed helper app would be great.

    Yes if you tell sudo to put the process in the background. Add the '-b' option like so

    sudo -b /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/Parallels\ Service.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_disp_service -e

    You'll return instantly to your command prompt and you can then close the terminal window. This will persist nicely until you close parallels, which will then kill the service you started, so you'll need to open another window and do it again.

    So I added the -b from kingrol's post to your sudo commands and a killall Terminal at the end.
    That about does it until they fix the Gatekeeper Sig.

    Working as a temporary solution!

    The work around, nor the script, work on 10.9.5 Build 13F18 (Released 18 August). A couple of reports sent, #48891433 was the last.

    Parallels 10 was just released as an upgrade to current users. I downloaded it, installed it and all is well again. You do have to pony up the upgrade fee, but that was expected. Now I am going to test it to see if I can install Yosemite as a VM.

    Heres the link:
