Permission repair? I'll try it, but I don't see how that is a factor. Remember, both of the two windows accounts see identical permissions on the mac side. The installers that fail complain about files in the temp directory, yet I can look in the temp directory, and see the files without...

Ahh! One more point that may shed some light. When the system was installed, prior to pointing everything at the mac (just the normal shared home folder settings), the microsoft .net 1.1 upgrade would not install. Checking the various web sites, it turned out that this was a problematic...

As I said, I have 30 Gigabytes of free space on my home drive. As it was, I emptied the trash, which freed up some space. It still wants 5 MB. Does it really take 30 GB of free space to install the tools?

Parallels tools wants me to free up 5 MB of space on my home drive. That drive has 30 GB of free space. After emptying the trash, it still did not let me continue, and the space needed was the exact same amount. Help? I tried: 1. Searching the forums -- apparently, someone had a...

My client is currently running Quickbooks 2006 pro, 10.4.11, and build 5582 (I believe; might have upgraded if a new version was released). Windows XP, service pack 2. How well does 10.5.1, quickbooks 2006 or 2007 pro, and the current parallels release work? I've seen people say that the...

OK, I finally tracked that one, at least. From the source: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/12/16/504864.aspx Apparently, trying to have IE 7 on a machine, and then going back to IE 6 can leave one little reg key left being in some cases. OK, my client just informed me that about a...

I could not figure out how to use the .hdd and .pvs files to create a new VM. Attempting to do so eventually brought me to a point of being told "Please insert your windows CD to begin the installation", even after I had selected the existing .hdd file. I also saved the Snapshots directory...

Any other ideas?

Two options -- for only this VM, or for all VM's. Trying "This VM" first ... Nope. Same issue. Now trying "All VM's" ... Exactly the same error messages, and the same list of applications from "Get Info" / Open with.

Alright, deleted. Even restarted the mac. Attempting to open any windows file -- even a notepad file -- gives me "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10660)" I'm assuming that I need to rebuild launchservice's ideas of the applications, but I...

It was already disabled. I tried re-enabling it, and then disabling it again. No good.

Ouch. Does that affect QuickBooks? If so, that's a show stopper.

10.5.2 was released? And I just checked the apple web site :-).

We are still using 10.4.11, with 5582. Is it OK to upgrade to 10.5.1, or should we wait for 10.5.2? Or do we need to wait for another build for the final 10.5 support?

Bump How can we disable apps opening in the wrong VM?

Again, both of these are still issues for me. I don't want anything to open in "Historic VM". That's more for a backup than anything else at the moment. If I'm opening a windows app, I want to use the "Primary VM" version of the windows app. And, I'd like to have a way to say "Don't use...

The problem isn't that the icon isn't on the screen. It is. The problem seems to be that the right click menu for it is damaged. It seems that for some reason, one of the updates from windows update changed this menu so that the normal "Open Home Page" and "Start without addons" choices were...
