    Hi.
    Just used Parallels to install Windows 7 professional 64 bit using and external drive as by SuperDrive is not reading DVDs on my iMac.
    Windows installed but when I run live update it keeps looking for updates but never finds any even after 24 hours.
    I already tied the solution posted here: http://kb.parallels.com/en/122613
    I couldn't find the "FIX IT" option in parallels and the second option gave several errors and didn't fix the bug.
    Also found a post on another site here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...king-for/edbd6404-18db-43fe-85ac-537ec1ce829f
    But that doesn't work. Both 32 bit and 64 bit files say this is not for my type of Windows..

    Question 1: How do I get live update to work?
    Question 2: Can Parallels install Windows into the BootCamp partition?

    Thanks.

    Hi Saabry, please open command prompt and onceit is open, type the following command and then press Enter.
    sfc /scannow
    System File Checker will now verify the integrity of every protected operating system file on your computer.
    Restart your computer if sfc /scannow did actually repair any files.
    Unfortunately, Parallels Desktop does not support Windows installation into the Bootcamp Partition.

    Hi. Ran SFC as you said. It says no integrity violations
    What do I do next?
    Thanks
