    Whenever i get to 74% i get an error message saying failed to update. Looking at the event viewer it says Failed to install driver prl_fs. I have gotten this error even after a clean install.
     
  2. Hi, please take a snapshot and then try the following:
    1. Click on Start -> Run.. > type 'regedit' without quotes and hit Enter/Return.
    2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    3. In Registry Editor UI click Edit > New > Key
    4. Name new key as Notify, so the full path would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify
    5. Close Registry Editor window, restart the virtual machine and install Parallels Tools again.

    Please do not forget to take a snapshot before making any changes.
