    I just updated to 7.0.15106 and the option to use the recovery partition to install Mountain Lion has disappeared from the New VM window.

    How am I supposed to install an OSX guest now?

    Third this. What happened?

    edit:

    Here is an utterly unhelpful KB Article:

    Unable to install Mountain Lion Virtual Machine in Parallels Desktop 7

    APPLIES TO: Desktop Virtualization

    Symptoms
    You upgraded your Mac OS to OS X Mountain Lion and you are unable to install Mac OS X Lion Virtual Machine by clicking on Install OS X Lion using the Recovery Partition

    Cause
    This functionality is available only for OS X Lion host Macs; the Install OS X Lion using the Recovery Partition icon will be removed from Parallels Desktop 7 if host OS is OS X Mountain Lion.
