Installing Software in a Windows Virtual Machine


Installing software in a virtual Windows environment isn't all that different from installing software on a Mac. One difference is that almost all Windows applications are installed with an installer application, whereas many Mac applications are installed by dragging a file or folder into the Applications folder. But, many Mac applications are installed with an installer application too, so running an installer application on Windows won't be hard if you have used one on the Mac. (And because you've installed Parallels Desktop for Mac, you have used at least one installer application.)

There are two primary sources of applications: Internet downloads and software on a disc. Installing applications from either source is similar. Refer to Chapter 4 for an example of installing an application from an Internet download (the example is Norton AntiVirus). To install an application from a CD or DVD, simply insert the disc into your Mac; the installer will run under the Windows environment. From there on, just follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
