Quickbooks Pro 2010 Installation Fail: Parallels 5, Windows XP, Macbook Pro Only

[KamN]

Hi,

I have Parallels Desktop 5 running with Windows XP on the following 3 computers:

iMac 2GHZ Intel Core Duo
Macbook Pro 2.53GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo
Macbook Pro 2.66 GHZ Intel Core i7

All have Mac OS X 10.6.4

I downloaded Quickbooks 2010 Pro to the desktop through Internet Explorer on Parallels. I was able to successfully install it on the iMac but I cannot install Quickbooks on either Macbook Pro.

Both get error messages. Intuit and Apple will not help me. Any suggestions?

One error message read:

was able to install after running the windows update tool after installing xp, was stock sp2, guess it needed some updating
