    Hi,

    First post here!

    I had a client bring in a iMac with Parallels Desktop 9. When trying to launch the "Windows 7" virtual machine i get the following error:

    The "Windows 7" application cannot be started.

    The application is installed in a virtual machine that cannot be located. Make sure the virtual machine hasnt been deleted or moved to another location.


    I launched Parallels and checked the preferences and the folder it is pointing to contains the Windows 7.pvm file.

    I dont have much experience with Parallels software so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
     
  2. Hi ZachS3. Kindly double-click the Windows 7.pvm file and check whether it is getting started.

    Thanks for the reply!

    When i attempt to load the .pvm file i get the following error:

    Parallels Mounter is unable to find the virtual hard disk to mount.

    The virtual machine has no virtual hard disk in its configuration.
     
  4. Please reply with the size of the Windows 7.pvm file.

    The size is 328KB for the .pvm file.
