Parallels Tools ISOs Missing?

I just bought and installed the new Parallels 8, but for some reason the Parallels Tools ISOs for the different operating systems is missing. I tried looking in Library/Parallels/Tools, but no such directory as Tools exists.

How do I install the Parallels Tools for each of the virtual machines I've created?

NOTE: I only have one Windows 7 and one Ubuntu virtual machines.

 

Tools are not in Application bundle. But why do you need it? To install Parallels Tools you need to go to Virtual Machine menu --> Install Parallels Tools

 

i can install the tools

i opened the virtual machine but menu --> Install Parallels Tools it's not available, grey option

i did send you an image

how can install the tools? i tried to open install DVD but it was updated online to new version. Build 8.0.18101

Thanks

Installed

i Installed parallels tools, when the virtual machine was running the options appear.

Great, sorry for delay. This is what i was going to tell you.

 

I seem to having a similar issue after upgrading. When I use the menu option in backtrack, I get an empty /media/Parallels\ Tools. And until I get these installed, I'm stuck without startx....

Update:
Well, after working on this for a few hours, I got it mounted manually... had to mount /dev/sr0 to /media/cdrom myself (on backtrack), and I found that the iso is kept in /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-lin.iso instead of the old /Library/Parallels/Tools.

 

It has been changed since PD8. Do you have your issue resolved now?

 

Yes, after manually mounting the iso, the install went fine.

 

To Parallels -
The KB says if they are missing - re-install Parallels Desktop
Lucky me, I found this thread and the ISO in the new location ..

Why don't you update the KB with the new location of Parallels Tools ISO..?
