Parallels Desktop

[Times_Infinity]

Installed Parallels Desktop on my AMD system.

Like in other posts it says in the info.plist file in the installer package, that you have to remove this line of text.

<key>IFRequirementDicts</key>
<array>
	<dict>
		<key>Level</key>
		<string>requires</string>
		<key>SpecArgument</key>
		<string>machdep.cpu.vendor</string>
		<key>SpecType</key>
		<string>sysctl</string>
		<key>TestObject</key>
		<string>GenuineIntel</string>
		<key>TestOperator</key>
		<string>eq</string>
	</dict>
</array>

 

But you dont have to delete that whole thing from the plist.

All you have to do is change GenuineIntel to AuthenticAMD.

So the plist would read like this.

 

<key>IFRequirementDicts</key>
<array>
	<dict>
		<key>Level</key>
		<string>requires</string>
		<key>SpecArgument</key>
		<string>machdep.cpu.vendor</string>
		<key>SpecType</key>
		<string>sysctl</string>
		<key>TestObject</key>
		<string>AuthenticAMD</string>
		<key>TestOperator</key>
		<string>eq</string>
	</dict>
</array>

 

After you do that it installs no problem on an AMD system.

Once done, you wont get this pesky message :

Parallels Desktop cannot be installed on this computer.

Make sure your system meets the requirements.

 

ENJOY!
