    Hello everyone
    i am a new user of parallels software and i seem to get the gist of it.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11 and i just bought a brandnew version of Parallels here online.
    I bought Parallels so i could run the program SolidWorks on it. it seems though that i need
    windows Service pack 2 in order to install SolidWorks. I went to Microsoft.com (in my VM)
    to update my software and as its downloading SP2 i get and error message quite a bit of time into it.
    Heres the error message:

    Update.exe- Application error
    The instruction at "0x77f59526" referenced memory at "0xfffffff8". The memory could not be "read".
    click ok to terminate the program


    I clicked okay and then tried running it again and got this message this time

    Update.exe- Application error
    The instruction at "0x77f82759" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
    click ok to terminate the program

    Help?!?!? I need this program for my Engineering class here at college.
    thanks so much!

    I suppose either VM is infected or antivirus prevents installation,
    Try to download full package instead of using Windows update
