    During the upgrade process at the end of stage 4 I was told that I needed manual intervention to complete the upgrade process. I was provided with a link http://www.parallels.com/support/desktop/upgrade/pdfm/ which after browsing through the troubleshooting guides and trying multiple options that I have come across on this forum so far - have proven unsuccessful.

    I can boot into my virtual machine, but whenever I try installing the Parallels Tools - it just freezes.
    I've Re-converted the VM several times.
    I've Click on the Tools ISO on my mac to create a .exe and copied that across.
    Still no success.

    I truly am at a loss as to what to do next - please help!

    I am so, so frustrated.

    Please try to disable antivirus prior to the tools installing.

    If this won't help, please create a support ticket at http://www.parallels.com/support/desktop/request/ and attach to the ticket files c:\windows\temp\parallels-setup.log and c:\windows\setupapi.log

    Post here the ticket number.

    I have no antivirus installed. So I'm guessing that we can eliminate that from the equation.

    Here's the ticket number details: [Parallels #783297]

    The files should be attached. Though there are 2 setupapi.log files which I found unusual.

    Many thanks for getting back to me on this Eric.

    Any further word on this? I'm needing parallels to get some production work done.
