4.0 re-upgrades VM every time I start it

MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz, 2 GB RAM
Mac OS 10.4.11
Parallels 4.0, most recent build, just updated today from Parallels 2.5

Parallels seems to want to keep my VM loaded rather than re-starting Windows every time as it did with the upgrade page.

Then, every time I start it, it re-upgrades my VM.

I get the following message:

I downloaded the update, so I don't have a CD, so I don't have a setup.exe file.

Then I can't install Parallels Tools even though I've tried all the steps referenced on here.

Help!!!!

 

Hello Susan,

Please follow the article below in regards to the issue:

I seem to have gotten a good upgrade yesterday before receiving your reply, although I scared myself half to death doing it.

I found a copy of "setup.exe" in the Windows Backup folder that the initial conversion process had created on my Mac partition. So I made this a shared folder and transferred the file back over to the Parallels side and ran it. It appeared to re-start the installation yet again.

But this time it hung on step 2. No progress for over an hour.

So I quit out of Parallels Desktop and re-started it. At that point it re-installed Windows and asked to re-authenticate it (first time that had happened in multiple partial installations). This went forward without a hitch; the installation completed itself, Parallels Tools were installed.

Everything appears to be fine now.
