Inventor 2013 won't install because the graphics card can't be read

I have tried downloading inventor and I am to the point in which it will install. It will install all the other files in the batch but it will not install Inventor because it says the graphics card can't be read.

This doesn't really include my problem. I've got everything else worked out, I just need inventor to regognize my graphics card. Because Wine (it's like Parallels) is a virtualization I don't know how to allow inventor to acess information about my graphics card

My point is that Inventor isn't supported or recommended to be installed as you are trying to do so.

You need parallels/bootcamp. 

You need to follow the recommended/supported installation methods. You aren't and as such you will experience problems.
