#Parallels uninstall for free#

Obviously if you can get someone to do it for free that's even better. I think it not piratical to include everything and yet sometimes what gets omitted really should be there however I also believe that as a computer user it is also the users responsibility to have an understanding of how this all works and if not then they should find someone that does and pay then to do it right or learn the hard way.

I think the important thing here is I didn't read your OP close enough and my reply was really about VMware Converter so if you imported the Virtual Machine using the controls in Fusion itself then I'd say that you're good to go from the perspective that Parallels Tools should not be affecting the system as they are not being loaded even thought the actual program files may still exist.ДЄs to documentation and being thorough about how to use a product and what should or shouldn't be done before/during/after etc in my opinion always falls short and this is pretty much industry wide so VMware is no different then anyone else in that respect. did the Fusion team screw up a little by not requesting users to remove the tools manually, or extracting them as part of the VM conversion process? So while my intent isn't to assign blame. If you have not explicitly uninstalled Parallels Tools either through its uninstaller or manually then some of the Parallels Tools are still running after the conversion. While this may be true importing a version 3 or earlier Parallels Virtual Machine via Fusion it is not true when using VMware Converter and I should have stated that what I was saying was in reference to using VMware Converter to convert a Parallels Virtual Machine that Parallels Tools are not disabled and at the present time if one is converting a Parallels Desktop 4 Virtual Machine then one need to deal with this. Each user's shell folders are restored to default values if they've been modified by the Parallels Shared Profile option. Importing will also remove Parallels Shared Applications and Parallels Tools entries from the Start menu, Parallels Shared Applications from Application Data folders, and the Parallels Shared folders icon from your desktop. The executables are not removed and Add/Remove Programs still shows Parallels Tools, but this doesn't indicate a problem. I don't know of any that are left running. Importing a Parallels VM into Fusion turns off all of the Parallels Tools we know about by setting the registry to disable them.

Parallels Tools should be uninstalled prior to importing/converting otherwise if the Parallels Tools uninstaller will not function after being imported/converted it will take quite a bit of Windows Registry editing and manual removal of the files installed by the Parallels Tools installer and frankly it would be easier to just reinstall Parallels Desktop and properly pre-process the Parallels Virtual Machine prior to importing/converting. sys file installed are still up and running upon rebooting back to normal mode Windows. What it does do is enable Parallels Tools to be reinstalled because it fools the Parallels Tools installer to think that they are not installed. You can manually uninstall them by following the directions at ДЇollowing the information presented in the linked Parallels KB Article referenced does not uninstall Parallels Tools.
