I was trying to uninstall parallels tools, as I find when I upgrade the vm the tools cause major issues. My problem is my VM is set to quit the application upon shutdown or stop. Because of this, I cannot edit the VM prefs as every time I try it tells me I need to stop the vm, but no matter how I stop the vm the application quits... How do I get it so I can prevent the application from quitting upon VM stop if that preference is in the VM preferences and thoes can't be edited until after a stop?????????????? Furthermore, my biggest problem is every time I try to uninstall parallels tools, I get an error... ******************************************* >SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (476) PAPParallels Tools PVENDOR: (www.parallels.com) PGUID:B730E908-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx......... $10.50.0.132 @Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) BT_OTHER 232.64 ******************************************* Then if I click OK: ******************************************* Install Wizzard Setup has expereinced an error. Please do the following: - Close any running programs - Empty your temporary folder - Check your Internet connection (Internet-based Setups) Then try to run the Setup again. Error code: -5001 ******************************************* Making it impossible for me to uninstall parallels tools... I tried emptying the temporary items folder & booting into safe-mode, neither of which had any effect on the error... My best alternative is to disable auto-booting and auto coherence, but I can't edit the VM prefs to do this...
A re-install of parallels tools appeared to fix the unable to uninstall problem, but that still doesn't tell me how to get it so I can edit a VM's properites, so my first question still stands...
same prob I have the same issue, and cannot edit the configuration. I tried "stop" in the parallels action menu and the same thing happened. The VM stopped and the entire program closed. Still looking for a solution.
