    I am running an evaluation (trial) version of the Parallels Desktop 14 for Mac (14.1.3). I have a guest OS X 10.11.6 (with Parallels Tools installed) running on a host OS X 10.14.2. Generally, the guest OS seems to run fine. It has functional Internet connectivity. It mounts the Parallels Tools Shared Folders drive. It connects to the local network. It runs apps. Etc. I can switch to Coherence Mode and all the windows transfer over to the host OS just fine. What does NOT appear to work are some integrations at the host end. I had expected the host OS to mount a Shared Folders drive. This is not there. I had expected to find a folder under either `/Applications` or `~/Applications` containing guest OS applications, something like `/Applications/Parallels/Shared Applications`. This is not on the host. Further, I had expected that the under `configuration -> options` there would be a pane for applications. This is not there. It seems like the Parallels Tools host-side integration is partly broken.

    To fix this I tried re-installing the guest OS, either from the install app or from a prior vbox image. I rebooted the host OS. I reinstalled Parallels tools on the guest OS. I reinstalled Parallels on the host. I tried to mount the guest OS .pvm image with Parallels Mounter.app. All to no avail. I think the most diagnostic element may be that there is no applications pane for configuration options. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

    Parallels support informs me that application sharing is not supported for OS X guest with OS X host.
