Just updated to Parallels Pro 11.1.1 this morning - following the update Tools installation started within a Windows 7 Pro (x64) guest. The installation has been stuck at 66% for well over an hour. Any advice on how to handle would be appreciated.
Update: After nearly 2 hours of being stuck at 66%, I killed the installation and rebooted the guest. I attempted the Tools installation again, same thing is happening. No antivirus present on this guest, no other apps which would interfere. I'm stumped.
Hello Kenneth, you may uninstall sound device from Device Manager before installing Parallels Tools. Parallels Tools installation will skip installing sound driver, and will successfully finish, but Windows won't have sound playback. Plz check this article.
I guess this is an error in the KB117150: Highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE- > File -> Load Hive -> specify "c:\windows\system32\config\drivers" -> name key somehow (say 'LoadedHive') Edit -> Find, specify the name of the driver (e.g. "prl_dd"). Delete all entries of prl_dd in the 'LoadedHeave' branch. (Note: you will need to change owner of the branch and give it permissions 'Full Control').
