[Solved] Parallels Tool Installation folder shows only asian symbols

I use Parallels 7 on Mac OS X and want to use Ubuntu Linux 11.10 as guest.

I start the Ubuntu VM, log in and click on "Virtual Machnie->Install Parallels Tools..."

After a while I can open a Parallels device which is mounted at /media/CDROM. Unfortunalty the file names consist of asian characters (see attachment). On seems to be a folder and two seem to be archieves. The rest is text files. One is a shell script which seems to create a PID.

How can I install the Parallels tools?

I solved it (at least for me). I previously had installed the VM in Parallels 5. After I noticed I could not install the Parallels tools for this Ubuntu version I switched to Parallels 7. There I tried to install the new tools within the old VM. When I create a new Ubuntu 11.10 VM in Parallels 7 it works.
 
didnt work for me

I have Parallels 7 and I am getting the same result when trying to install parallel tools in Ubuntu 12.04.

Any help please?
