Recommendations where to install new Windows-Programs to?

Hi,

I have here a bunch of Windows-Applications ready to install.
Once parallels is installed and running, is there any recommendations to decide where those new Windows Applications should be located?

Parallels is installed in:
- ~/Macintosh_HD/Programs/Parallels_Desktop_App (among all my other Mac-Applications)

a) Is it okay if I install the Windows Applications among the MAC-Applications ( ~/Macintosh_HD/Programs/ )?
b) Or, is it recommended to install the Windows-Applications into the Virtual Machine?
c) Or, is there any more appropriate location to do so?

Merci

Hi, it will be great to install Windows apps inside Windows VM:
1. Because it's not possible to run .exe file on the Mac side
2. It's more simple to do if from Windows.

 

Let us know if you have any other questions, we will be glad to help.

 

Thanks Maria, I'll check it out!

 

Hi Maria,

questions... yes, indeed: it seems there are two potential locations inside the virtual machine - which one is best...

- Applications
or
- Applications (x86)

...?

Thank you

Hey, both is OK, but as I know new apps will be installed in Applications (x86) folder by default and you can choose this folder during the installation.

 

Merci
