    Good Evening All,

    I have the retail beta for OS X El Capitan and I am trying to make it run with my VM. I have found some guides, such as http://www.lostentropy.com/2015/06/10/installing-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-inside-parallels-desktop/

    I got to the second step, which is the terminal command
    iesd -i /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ 10.11\ Developer\ Beta.app -o ElCapitan-base.dmg -t BaseSystem
    This tells me that the input file doesn't exist
    I have tried re organizing it and thought maybe it was because my path was different, but I can't figure out the proper format that it is wanting. I have the "Install OS X El Capitan Developer Beta.app" inside of my Applications folder

    Has anyone found another way to install the beta with a VM and if so, can I get a proper walkthrough for it?

    Hi BrandonD3,
    Could you please try installing Mac OS X Yosemite as a Virtual machine and try standard upgrade to El-Capitan or Drag and drop the "Install OS X El-Capitan" app into the Parallels Wizard,let us know if it worked.
