Guest blog by Manoj Raghu, Parallels Support Team In previous blogs, we talked about setting up your Windows virtual machine, tuning it and using advanced functionality. Now let’s take a look at installing Windows-based programs in a Parallels Desktop VM. Although this process is pretty similar to installing programs on a PC, there are a few items I’d like to point out. So, what do we need to start the third-party program installation in your Windows VM? Right—we need the actual installation image for the program.

Dec 15, 2014. Apple's MacBook Air, along with many other Macs, no longer includes an optical drive. But you can still use CDs, DVDs. Once you've enable the remote disc sharing on either a Mac or Windows computer, you can open the Finder on your Mac without a disc drive. Click the “Remote Disc” option under.

This image can be in one of the following formats: • A CD or DVD installation disc • An.iso image file, which can be connected to the virtual CD-ROM.

This usually comes as an.exe image. Before we start Make sure your Windows VM meets the system requirements for the software you want to install. Each specific piece of software requires a different amount of RAM and video memory, hard drive space, etc. In most cases, you can check program system requirements on the software manufacturer’s website. If you need to change the amount of resources dedicated to your VM, all you need to do is shutdown Windows and make the appropriate changes in your.

If you plan to download the installation image from the Internet, make sure no firewalls or Internet security solutions are blocking the download process, especially if the download is an.exe image—I call this “over-security”, but it can help you avoid the occasional virus. OK, the image has been successfully downloaded. Let’s get it installed!

Installing Third-Party Programs With an.Exe Image As you can see, it’s pretty straightforward. Locate the file you’ve just downloaded and double click to start the installation. Then follow the installation wizard to complete the install. Installing Third-Party Programs with CD or DVD Now let’s see how to install a program from a CD or DVD. This is also fairly simple: • Start Windows. • Insert the CD. • Make sure your virtual CD-ROM is pointed to the real device: Access the → Hardware → CD/DVD 1 and set it to your Mac’s CD-ROM.

• In most cases, the AutoPlay dialog will open. Click the option to run or install file and follow the onscreen instructions. Nothing coming up automatically? No worries—just open Windows Explorer and double-click on the CD-ROM to start the installation.

Wait—what if I don’t have a CD-ROM? Fair question—most modern Macs don’t. In this case, you can use the external CD-ROM or just download the.exe image from the software manufacturer’s website, as outlined above.

Installing Third-Party Programs with an.iso Image • In the Mac menu, click on Actions → Configure • Switch to the Hardware tab • Click on CD/DVD on the left under Connect to select Choose an image file. • Locate the ISO image file in the dialog and click Open. • Close the VM Configuration window. • Start your VM. The contents of your ISO file are now accessible as a virtual CD/DVD ROM drive inside your VM.

As promised in the previous post, we will teach you how to use the Apple Remote Disc. This tool allows you to access a CD or DVD even if your MacBook is not equipped with a CD drive.

As we have explained beforeit is not possible listen songs recorded on a CD or watch a movie recorded on a DVD using this tool. Let's review the restrictions on the use of Remote Disc? • Audio CDs • Blu-ray or DVD movies • Copy-protected discs (such as game discs) • CDs or DVDs you want to record or delete • Microsoft Windows installation disks An interesting feature of this tool is that you can use it both Mac to Mac, as Windows for Mac.
