Cannot Install Civil 3D 2010 on VM Parallels Desktop for Mac, Result=1603

[Anonymous]

I am using a 2011 iMac with 8GB Ram (7GB devoted to Windows 7 running on Parallels Desktop).  My processor is a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.  The system requirements for C3D 2010 recommend a 3 GHz processor or faster, 7GB disk space for installation, 2-4GB RAM for normal use.  I have tried installing the product but keep getting failing results.  I have increased the RAM designated to Parallels up to 7GB for install but still having problems.  I have not found anyone else who has tried to run ACAD on parallels, but that should not be the problem.  I have talked with many people who are running larger software than ACAD.  I have uninstalled McAfee which seemed to help others with the same failure errors but I am still unable to install.  Any help would be appreciated.  My failure log is below.

You might modify your installation so that it does not include the service pack during installation.  Make sure you are installing from the hard drive and not media.  And make sure you have local admin rights, UAC off, and anti-virus disabled.
