no boot device available during windows 7 installation

[DaveM5]

Hi

I am new to parallels.

I am trying to install windows 7 using an ISO file on the latest version of parallels just downloaded and am on Sierra 10.12.3.

I keep getting the above error, i.e. no boot device available and have attached a screen dump.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Regards

Dave.

Hi DaveM5, make sure you have Windows 7 ISO is downloaded completely. Try disabling Express Installation in Parallels Desktop installation wizard and continue Windows installation manually.
