Problem ID: 15380

Running Parallels Desktop 12 for Mac on a late 2013 iMac, 3.2GHz i5, 32GB Ram, running Sierra 10.12.2 -- I was working in Windows today and a dialog popped up saying a new version of Parallels was available so I clicked to install it. It asked me for my Administrator password and seemed to install. I went to start Windows and it asked for my Administrator password again. It acted like it removed older version and installed but came up with dialog that it could not be installed, Problem ID 15380.

I am the only user on the machine.

I restarted machine and tried again. Same thing. I would appreciate any help.

 

same here. Latest Parallels update (12.1.2 41525) installed on MacOS Sierra and now at every new start of my VM (W10) I have to enter my admin login data and then it says installing Parallels / removing old version. Hope the Parallels team finds the bug... P.S. @AnthonyM6 if still possible could you please edit the subject to something like "new install bug at every start of Parallels"

 

same also here. After updating latest update getting error, running on MacOs Sierra
Can't work for the moment......

Hey guys,
To resolve the problem id: 15380, please check this KB article: http://kb.parallels.com/114703

 

Unfortunately, that's not it. The only "0" user showing on my system is "Root" which is, according to that article, the way it's supposed to be. No other user, with and/or without the underscore at the beginning is showing "0".

Any other things we can try? I really need to get this working. Any help appreciated!

 

Guys, could you please provide us with the Problem report id.

Also, guys, please try to execute this command: sudo chmod -R 755 ~/Documents/Parallels and check.

I just sent it. ID: 144170086

 

It asks for my password then it returns "No such file or directory"

Thank you for your prompt reply, also we're currently working on this issue and the issue's root cause.

 

Same result....

While waiting for Parallels to fix the root cause, a modification to inittool by ThomasM7 solves the admin password problem Martin9 describes.
ParallelsDesktop-12.1.2-41525 is reinstalling on every start

 

Is there any update to this?
