    Hi folks,

    I noticed there was a post in this forum from Sept 2007 regarding MS Expression and Coherence mode in Parallels Desktop 3. At the moment I am running PD4.0 and trying to install MS Expression 2. The install failed and general info through Google seem to be about problems with video driver.

    Has anyone else encountered this problem? I can't install any of the MS Expression 2 apps, ie. Blend, Web, etc.

    Thanks,
    Dany.

    I found another user has managed to install Expression on PD 3 in Window mode, then switching to Coherence. Unfortunately I can't do that even in Window mode on PD 4.0.

    Right...I managed to install and run Expression Blend now. First I had to uninstall Parallels Tool, install Expression Studio 2, then re-install Parallel Tools.

    It all seems to be running now - at least the application starts - I haven't delved deeper yet.
