Installing flex on Mac Parallels

Question

Hello folks, I am trying to install Flex 3 on my Windows 7 Virtual machine (parallels desktop) on my Mac Pro. The problem seems to be some sort of conflict between the copy of Flex 3 Builder installed on Mac OS X.

The installer tries to install Flex in x:/Program Files/Adobe/Flex Builder 3/ but since Parallels Desktop connects all directories, there resides the Flex Builder 3 installation of MAC.

I get this error Log:

Hello from mexico! I had the same problem and the solution was deactivate the option "enable share profile" on the parallels virtual machine options (well, i am not sure if on english his name is that).

After it i could install any program (including flex builder) without problems. :)
