Error installation Windows 10

[WimH1]

I try to install Windows 10 on Parallels Desktop 10, but receive the following error:

Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.

I use the iso file "en_windows_10_enterprise_x64_dvd_6851151.iso"

any ideas?

OK, found the solution myself.
I uncheck the "express installation" option and everything goes fine.

Hello @AlexanderN1,
You can start the VM creation as mentioned in the KB http://kb.parallels.com/4729 but when you are on the screen to select the ISO and continue to select "Locate Manually" then select "Continue without a source" then proceed to select Operating System.
Choose the profile for your virtual machine.
Give a name for the VM and create. You will get a no boot screen.
Use Actions (on Mac menu bar) > Stop.
Now open virtual machine configuration http://kb.parallels.com/117287, go to Hardware Tab > CD/DVD , mount the Windows 10 ISO and start the VM which will start Windows installation manually.
Don't enter Windows key during installation select "I don't have a key". You can complete the activation after the installation is complete.
Thanks

Yes, looks not so native, but this solution works, Thank you

The root cause of this is the Unattended.xml file that is provided by the Unattended.iso that gets attached when using "Easy Install" is missing an "answer" for one of the questions presented during the Windows setup process, this is likely due to using a Windows variant that they didn't account for, whether Windows 10 Enterprise or a different language installer that the en-US prompts don't match up with 100%.

I ran into this with a Windows 10 Enterprise ISO, luckily it was pretty easy to work around, I just chose "Switch to manual" from the Installation menu and then detached the Unattended.iso from the second optical drive and restarted the VM, then I was able to proceed through setup manually without having to create the whole VM from scratch. You could also potentially detach this ISO by selecting Customize hardware at the end of the Easy Install wizard, though it might reattach it, I'll have to test.
