Hello, I have parallels 10 for mac and the latest version of kali...

However, when I'm trying to install parallels tools, i follow the instructions it gives me and I am unable to get them working..

Can somebody point me in the right direction? .. Thanks.

I have the same problem I think. I get everything up an running using Parallels 10 and the latest Kali 1.1 with:
  • cd /media/cdrom0
  • cp -r install installer/ kmods/ tools/ version /tmp
  • cd /tmp
  • ./install
but then when it is about to finish it tells me: "An error occurred when downloading required components for Parallels Tools installation
- kernel sources
Install these components and try again"

I have spent hours upgrading from 1.0.6 up until 1.1 and still no luck. This is very aggravating as I have purchased and upgraded Parallels mainly to use Kali.

I had similar issues with previous versions of linux. Does Parallels Tools support the Kernel you are attempting to install in to?

Kali 1.1 uses Debian 3.18.3-1-kali4
