Hi,

i have a big Problem, i want to install a Windows 8 Beta over the Parallels Menü -> New VM, then i click Windows 8 Beta. The Download runs through to the validation and then it fails everytime. i download the iso nearly 5x and everytime it cant be verified? I get the Problem ID 15332 ? I try downloads over WLAN and Ethernet nothing worked?!

Any ideas why i cant install Win 8 ? I successfully installed today a ubuntu vm like the same way i tried win 8. The Ubuntu VM works?

Some infos about the System:

MacBook Pro 15" Retina
Mac OS X Mountain Lion
Parallels 7

The System ist 2 weeks old, i installed all Updates

I had the same problem. I was changing the name from Windows 8 Preview Blah blah to just Windows 8 and it failed. I tried one last time without changing anything and it worked without a problem. Try that.
 
Win 8 install problem

I am at the same spot: I've downloaded the Win 8 preview 3 times and only 2.71 mb is copied out of 3.3 mb. I'm now trying to get the 3.3 mb .iso file from MS and copy it over the .pvm 2.71 mb file, then restart the Parallels software to see if it'll run.

I'll post what works next, as I've read right here the support from Parallels sucks big time.
 
Quit the Parallels Desktop, deleted the .prm file from Documents/Parallels, downloaded the Windows 8 .iso file from MS and pointed the installer at it. Seems to be working.
