I have been attempting to use a Parallels Desktop 5 for Macintosh virtual machine with MacOS X Leopard Server on the VM, which is supposed to be supported in Parallels Desktop 5. Although I can create the VM and install the OS, I can't get Parallels Tools to completely install or, conversely, to uninstall. Although the installer reports success, the VM reports that Parallels Tools aren't installed. When I log onto the OS on the VM, some of the expected behaviors are working, like shared folders, but drag and drop files between the VM and the host computer doesn't work.
Also, on a Windows XP virtual machine, Parallels Tools won't install if I allow the VM to have access to both cores on the laptop, so I have to set the number of CPUs to 1 in order to install Parallels Tools on the Windows XP VM, then set it back to 2. Not as bad as the MacOS VM, though.
An update was released on the 15th of January, which I installed. Unfortunately, the Parallels Tools install issue isn't resolved for either VM.
