Problem with installing Parallels Tools in new Beta 1862

I just installed the tools and now XP keeps crashing a few seconds after it boots.

It probably has something to do with a mounted USB flash drive that was a parallels shared folder. After I removed it, it seems to finish the booting without a crash for a few minutes now.
 
I cannot install Parallels tools either but it does not even try.

I got to VM Menu, select install Parallels Tools click on it and NOTHING, nada, zero reaction.

If I look again it has changed to cancel installing Parallels Tools but nothing seems to be happening in/on the VM.

PLEASE, does anyone have any ideas?

My integration with Virtue is completely broken. I can no longer switch between desktops whilst still in full screen mode. I have enabled access for assistive devices in the system preferences pane also. Please somebody help out!
 
Installing Parallels tools in new Beta doesn`t work

Yes. I still get the fatal error message when I try to install the new Parallels Tools in Beta 1862.

I also get this message when trying to uninstall the old Parallels Tools in the new Beta 1862 or after reinstalling the last official release 1848.
 
Do you have in configuration Cd-Rom device? Or autorun Cd is off? You may try to manually install parallels Tools from .iso file /Library/Parallels/Tools/vmtools.iso.
 
Thanks a lot for you help pazu.

I solved the problem - but I had to name it "RunOnce" instead of "Run" because "Run" existed already and "RunOnce" was mentioned in the fatal error message.

Now it works. I could install the new Paralles Tools.

BTW, I also have an official XP Home edition and nothing from the net.

Anyway, big thanks again.

I just edited my last post so don`t get confused about the old quote above.
"RunOnceEx" doesn`t need to be erased.


My USB Smartcard Reader SCR 335 finally works. Wow. Great.

So Good bye Boot Camp. Hello 5 more GB`s :-) .

Brilliant thanks.

Manually attached the iso file, installed the updates and now working much better but I still cannot figure out why it would not work from the menu.

Many thanks again.
