    Hi,

    I have Parallels Desktop 5 running with Windows XP on the following 3 computers:

    iMac 2GHZ Intel Core Duo
    Macbook Pro 2.53GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo
    Macbook Pro 2.66 GHZ Intel Core i7

    All have Mac OS X 10.6.4

    I downloaded Quickbooks 2010 Pro to the desktop through Internet Explorer on Parallels. I was able to successfully install it on the iMac but I cannot install Quickbooks on either Macbook Pro.

    Both get error messages. Intuit and Apple will not help me. Any suggestions?

    One error message read:
