Maintenance Update/PDMU4021

Having the same problem under OSX 10.5.6. My App is correctly situated in the APP folder but I'm still having the same problem, none of the previous fixes suggested have worked for me.

 

put here install.log from Console.app

 

Install 4.0.3810.35132 from the full installer, create a XP machine install Parallels Tools, look at the version of the files after the installation they even refer to 23 January 2009, the drivers are clearly and without any doubt a different version.

 

Here are the relevant parts:

The fact is that the update really only updates what you said, but the full installer updates more.

 

update hang workaround

Downloading and installing ParallelsDesktop-parallels-en_US-4.0.3810.351321.dmg worked for me.
Before that the update would just hang until I forced quit or rebooted.

Thanks for the help!

Time Machine

I took a look at the install.log and it looks like the updater was trying to update the application it found on my Time Machine volume. Here's the last few lines of the log file.

I unmounted the volume and the install finally went through with no issues.

Do you have PDM4 in a different location than /Applications ?

 

I have Parallels Desktop.app and the Parallels folder containing Parallels Explorer, Image Tool, Transporter and an alias of Parallels Desktop all in the /Applications folder. I'm pretty sure I left everything in the default install locations.

 

Then the updater is inherently flawed.

 

This is very strange. If I initiate a manual check for updates, it finds the update, but when I click install, it says that there is an internet connection problem and it can't establish a connection to the Parallel server. It suggests I check my internet connection, even though it just used it to verify that an update had been scheduled.

 

Can't get this to install.

I have my Parallels app in the default Applications folder. Here is what happens when I try to run the install: http://screencast.com/t/SolOIIXEy

Thanks.

 

The installer was trying to update Parallels on my Time Machine backup. Unmounted my backup disk and re-ran the update - fixed.

Parallels team - love your software but please fix this. This has been hanging out there too long without a fix.

 

I just tried unmounting backup disks as well and the patch worked immediately after that.

 

Ja, I have the same problem... I have reported it to support twice but not received a reply.
Did you manage to find out any more about this problem?
