3188 incompatible with NTFS?

[doceddi]

see http://forum.parallels.com/post50269-6.html
for context, but the summary is that i
was unable to install the 3188 parallels Tools
on any of my VMs that had an NTFS hdd.

(which you'll note is a nice way of saying that
the upgrade to 3188 f'd me up royally)

i found an old backup where the C: drive is still FAT,
and the Tools installer seems to have worked.


Is this a known issue? it seems a very strong restriction;
i need NTFS for work -- is it true that 3188 is incompatible
with NTFS? 1970 worked fine with NTFS for months ..


thanks,
eddi

My VMs are NTFS and Parallels Tools installed just fine after I turned off McAfee's security software.

Same here, my VMs are all NTFS and I have had n problems installing the tools.

I've only ever used NTFS for my .hdd files; Same goes for Boot Camp.
Out of 8 user installs (all NTFS), I've only had 1 instance of not being able to un/install Parallels Tools. That was after upgrading a VM from 1970 to 3094 (Beta). I was unable to resolve via Safe Mode method, and had to create a new VM (due to time-constraints).
