Installing a Windows program on my virtual Windows

iMac OS: Mountain Lion
Parallels Desktop 9, 14 day trial version
Windows 8

I did not go the Boot Camp route.

Everything went well. Until...

I need to install windows software. This particular program is called Monogram Wizard. I can get to the DVD from the Windows App with no difficulty. I can execute the install application. But it always terminates with an error about being unable to access the registry.

 

Make sure you are running the install program with administration privileges.

 

AH! I'll try that!

 

New to Windows 8. I can't find users like I can on Windows 7 and previous versions. Truth be told, I can't even find COntrol Panel. I'll keep plodding away.

 

Okay. Everything appears to be fine now.
