    Running Parallels Pro 26.1.1 on Sequoia 15.7 and Parallels keeps asking to install Parallel Tools everytime Tahoe boots as a guest OS, and it never actually installs. This has been happening since the first Tahoe beta and I kept hoping that either Apple or Parallels would fix it. Anyone else experience this issue?

    No, Parallels Tools installed perfectly on the betas back when I was still running Sequoia.

    I have the same issue: "Parallels Tools cannot be installed. An error has occurred while installing Parallels Tools. Restart the virtual machine and try again."
    Restarting or reinstalling the VM doesn't help.
