Parallels 3.0 will not install

I have an Intel iMac G5 with Leopard 10.5.4, 2.16 GHz and 1 GB ram. With bootcamp and windows xp already installed. After inserting Parallels Install disk and going through the steps, the install hangs with the bar going only 1/8 inch even after leaving overnight. How can I get Parallels installed?

You cannot install Parallels on non-Intel machine. It requires Intel chip. G5 is old PowerPC chip based machine.
 
It is an Intel machine!

Note in my post. [B]Intel[/B] iMac G5 Should you insist, About this Mac States Processoras: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
 
Try to open Terminal and perform following command
sudo /Volumes/Parallels\ Desktop/Install\ Parallels\ Desktop.pkg/Contents/Resources/preflight

Note, you will be asked for your password
 
After typing your command into terminal I get this

grep: /Applications/Parallels/Parallels.app/Contents/Info.plist: No such file or directory
/Volumes/Parallels Desktop/Install Parallels Desktop.pkg/Contents/Resources/preflight: line 82: /Library/StartupItems/Parallels/Parallels: No such file or directory
kextunload: /Library/StartupItems/Parallels/Pvsvnic.kext: no such bundle file exists
can't add kext (file access/permissions).

How is this possible from a CD?
 
After walking away and returning a moment later the installer now says installed successfully and networking (2) items not installed. Is all ok now???
