How do I install OSX (non-server) on Parallels 6

[SheaM]

I have Parallels 6, now that the Lion license allows me to install Lion in a VM, how do I do this in Parallels 6?

I am assuming that P7 has the option built in. Is there going to be a patch 6 that adds this? Having only bought 6 6 months ago, I don't feel like upgrading at this time.

Uh, just came across this. When i get home tonight I'll give this a try, but I suspect this is my answer, and it is satisfactory!

Ok, so I have the latest build (12106). But I don't see an option to install Lion. Am I supposed to choose Other OS?

Ok, so I just downloaded the latest build of 6 (12106). I don't see an option to install Lion. Am I supposed to choose Other, then give it my Lion dmg?

The Parallels Desktop 6 documentation doesn't say that Lion is a supported guest OS.

You'll need to get Parallels Desktop 7 if the Snow Leopard Server option doesn't let you install Lion. Otherwise, you'll need to create a hackintosh type virtual machine to run Lion which might not work.
