Hi, I try to install a virtual Mountain Lion with Parallels to test it (I'm today running Snow Leopard in a 27" iMac (fall 2009)). But I don't know why the installation doesn't run. When I load my InstallESD.dmg image and start the virtual machine to run the installation, nothing happens. Just a grey window with the Apple logo in the center. Did I missed something ? Is the virtual machine configuration not good (I left all defaults (1 CPU, 2 Go RAM, ...)). I tried many Mountain Lion images but always the same problem. Thx for your anwers.
Found this on the forum. http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=258995 I 'll try and tell you if it works.
So, ML is freshly installed. But my resolution is stuck at 1024x768, which so nasty cause I own a 27" iMac. Did I miss something again in the configuration ?
Thx for your reply. It asks me the Parallels Tools installation disc. Is it in the Parallels Desktop installation package ? Or will I find it somewhere else (on the Parallels internet site, another disc, ...) ?
It should have mounted it automatically. But the path to Parallels Tools installer is /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Resources (you need prl-tools-mac.iso)
I thank you very much. It worked. And it's right that I don't understand why it didn't mount automatically (it did with my Windows 7 VM).
So now, all is OK. Except one thing : I can't launch "Messages" with my Apple account. Is it possible that it doesn't work because I launch it through a guest system ?
