I didn't have this issue, but as Nono said, boot into boot camp and install from there instead of in parrallels. You'll likely need to run Soft from boot camp sometimes anyway.( eg the stereo viewport shader seems to only work in full windows due I think to it using the real graphic drivers,

Hi, I'm just trying out Parallels and I'm now having problems installing Soft. It says the operating system is unsupported, I'm assuming the installer thinks I'm trying to install on the MacOS, but I'm running the installer from within Windows. Any thoughts on this? Thanks Chris On 3 January
