mistereff Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi all I've set up my iMac with a Virtual Windows drive - Using Parallel 7 for Mac and Windows 7. The problem I'm having is when I try to install Watchout 4.5.1 or Watchout 5.1 I get a pop up asking if it's ok for Watchout to change some settings. I click yes and nothing happens. Just can't get any further with it. Has anyone else managed to set up with Parallel? Really just want the best of both words - all the editing and creation power of the Mac with the Windows only Watchout. Many thanks Richard Norwich UK 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I've used both WATCHOUT 4 and 5 under MacOS X using VMWare Fusion. I've heard others have been successfull with Parallells as well, but haven't tried it myself. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistereff Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks Mike. I must just be missing a setting somewhere. Hopefully others may have some pointers. Richard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessi Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I use Watchout Production software (version 5.1) on Parallels 7 with Windows 7 without any problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofgibson Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I ran into a problem trying to install Watchout on my Mac. I am running Parallels 7 with Win 7 64 bit. I've been told that Watchout works on 64 bit Windows, but when I run the installer I downloaded I get an error that the installer won't run on my version of Windows and that I should check with the developer on 32 bit vs. 64 bit. Am I missing a trick to this install? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 WATCHOUT download on MacOSX - Installation Errors "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86(32-bit) or x64(64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher" Just to clarify a bit: It is not a 32-/64-bit issue with the installer, it contains all necessary files for both 32-/64-bit installations. This is most likely due to a download done on MacOSX, which adds an ".exe" to the Windows Installer files ".msi", for some reason. To rectify, please download on a Windows PC or make sure the installers file end with ".msi" only, not ".msi.exe", before start of installation. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofgibson Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I actually solved the problem about the time this post came out. It turns out it is even easier, no re-download required. I just changed the file name and got rid of the extra .exe extension and then Watchout installed no problem. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterParkerBrodhead Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I am trying to get my Macbok Pro w/ parallels to connect to my display computer but cannot get a connection. Can anyone describe to me how they setup the network settings in parallels and OSX to get communication going from production to display? Thanks in advance! -Peter Parker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
