    Hi, I am running the following configuration
    MB Pro
    MAC OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
    Parallels Desktop 11
    Windows 7 guest OS
    MS Project 2013

    We use Office 365 and store a lot of documents on SharePoint as part of Office 365. I run the Chrome browser on MAC OS to access the files. When the file in question is an MS Project mpp file, there is an option in Chrome/SharePoint to launch it in MS Project (which is running under Windows/Parallels VM), however the option doesn't work. Doesn't do anything.
    Wondering if anyone knows how to make Chrome smart enough to know that the file needs to be launched in the Windows VM, similar to how the file launches if it is on my desktop and I launch it via Mac Finder.
    Minor annoyance. The workaround is to download the file and launch via Finder.
    Thanks!
