Server 2008 Tools Install

[thetoad30]

All,

For the life of me, I cannot get the Parallels Tools to install in Windows Server 2008.

I have the VM set for Windows Server 2008, it is installed correctly as a VM, but the tools will always hit a point, and then roll back the install and quit.

Why is this happening, and how can I fix it? I'm on the latest (3810) build of 4.0.

Thank you.
