    The Parallels brochure page says that Parallels 12 is "Optimized and ready for macOS Sierra"
    https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
    But I cannot install the using the 'Install macOS Sierra Developer Beta.app'.
    1. Launch Parallels, Version 12.0.1 (41296).
    2. Choose File > New > 'Install Windows or another OS from a DVD or image file' > Continue
    3. I choose "Install macOS Sierra Developer Beta.app" from the scrolling list that appears, and click Continue.
    4. In the dialog informing meth that "...Parallels Desktop needs to create a bootable disk image file. ..." I click Continue.
    5. In a Save As dialog that appears, I accept the default file name: "OS X image file.dmg" and click Save.
    6. An error message appears: "Failed to create a bootable disk image file for this version of OS X."

    I have a similar exp. but I am using the release version of osSierra, and I have not had a response to my request on Twitter either. What's up with that??
     
  3. Hi Basil.Bourque,
    Please create a bootable disk image for Mac OS X Sierra using Disk Maker X and let us know if that works.
