In previous blogs, we talked about setting up your Windows virtual machine, tuning it and using advanced functionality. Now let’s take a look at installing Windows-based programs in a Parallels Desktop VM.
Although this process is pretty similar to installing programs on a PC, there are a few items I’d like to point out.
So, what do we need to start the third-party program installation in your Windows VM? Right—we need the actual installation image for the program. This image can be in one of the following formats:

Before we start…
Make sure your Windows VM meets the system requirements for the software you want to install. Each specific piece of software requires a different amount of RAM and video memory, hard drive space, etc. In most cases, you can check program system requirements on the software manufacturer’s website. If you need to change the amount of resources dedicated to your VM, all you need to do is shutdown Windows and make the appropriate changes in your VM configuration.
If you plan to download the installation image from the Internet, make sure no firewalls or Internet security solutions are blocking the download process, especially if the download is an .exe image—I call this “over-security”, but it can help you avoid the occasional virus.
OK, the image has been successfully downloaded. Let’s get it installed!

As you can see, it’s pretty straightforward. Locate the file you’ve just downloaded and double click to start the installation. Then follow the installation wizard to complete the install.

Now let’s see how to install a program from a CD or DVD. This is also fairly simple:
Nothing coming up automatically? No worries—just open Windows Explorer and double-click on the CD-ROM to start the installation.
Wait—what if I don’t have a CD-ROM? Fair question—most modern Macs don’t. In this case, you can use the external CD-ROM or just download the .exe image from the software manufacturer’s website, as outlined above.

The contents of your ISO file are now accessible as a virtual CD/DVD ROM drive inside your VM.
Note:It’s recommended to restart your Windows VM after installing any applications.
