Creating Virtual Machine 81
6 On the Setup Type screen you should choose between the complete setup and a custom
one. The complete setup installs all of the tools available for your guest OS. If you select
custom setup, the
Select Components screen asks you to select the desired tools from the
tools available for your guest OS.
7 Choose the program folder on the
Select Program Folder screen, then the Check Setup
Information
screen displays the options selected. If they are correct, click Next to begin the
installation.
8 By default a Windows operating system is configured to warn you every time an unsigned
driver is installed. Parallels Tools installation wizard supposes to temporarily disable these
warnings.
When you receive the following message: "Parallels Tools installation
contains a number of unsigned drivers. These drivers are
required for proper functioning of Parallels Tools. Currently
your system is configured to warn you every time an unsigned
driver is installed. Do you want to receive these warnings
during Parallels Tools installation?" click
OK to disable the unsigned
driver warnings during Parallels Tools installation. They will re-enabled later when the
installation will be complete.
9 After the wizard copies tools, the
Installation Completed screen asks if you want to restart
the computer now. In all of the Windows guest OSes, except 98 and NT, you must restart
the virtual machine after this setup procedure. Accept the selected option and click
Finish.
The virtual machine will be restarted and ready for work with the tools installed.
Notes: 1. In a Windows 98 guest OS, the Sound Driver requires you to perform additional steps
after this setup. Proceed to Windows 98 Sound Driver Installation (page 82).
2. In Windows NT guest OS, proceed to
Windows NT Tools Installation (page 82) to complete
setup in this guest OS.
Troubleshooting When Installing Tools
Parallels Tools installation is invoked by Windows AUTORUN feature for CD/DVD-ROM
drive. It is enabled by default, however if you have disabled it manually, nothing happens after
you select the
Install Parallels Tools command. (In any way, the vmtools.iso CD image will
be connected to the virtual machine CD-ROM drive, however it is not visible to the user.) To
solve this problem do one of the following:
 Enable AUTORUN function for CD-ROM drive in guest Windows.
 Start tools installation manually.
Open the contents of the vmtools.iso in Windows Explorer, find PrlTools.exe file,
and start it.
