We're testing 10.6 on a few machines. The version of Parallels 5 that we had did not seem to want to work with 10.6. I downloaded the latest version from Parallels 5.0.9344.55874. I used the procedure provided by jamf (extracting "install.mpkg"). However, each time I receive this in the error log:

I then tried capturing this using composer but then I receive the error that "parallels cannot start the service...". None of these problems occur on 10.5, only my 10.6 test machines.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
