Hi there,
I just purchased Parallels, and then purchased Windows 7 Pro from Microsoft's site and downloaded the 3 files for Windows 7. I installed Parallels and and am trying to now install Win 7 when Parallels starts up using the New windows installation wizard.
The 3 files I downloaded from MS after purchase were:
Win7-P-Retail-en-us-x86
setup1.box
setup2.box
The problem is that the wizard is asking me to locate either the DVD of the windows installation or an .iso image. None of my Win 7 files can be recognized because they are not .iso files and therefore I can't get Win 7 installed. Am I going to have to buy another copy of Win 7 on DVD in order to get this to install? Are these files I purchased from MS of no use in Parallels?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
