Installing Windows Applications

You install Windows applications on your Mac just as you would on a Windows PC. The two most common ways of installing applications are:

• Using a CD or DVD installation disc

• Downloading the application or installation file from the Internet or a network

Install an Application from a CD/DVD Installation Disc

1. Start Windows.

2. Insert the installation disc.

3. In most cases, an AutoPlay dialog opens. Click the option to run a setup or install file, then follow the onscreen instructions.

For more information about using CD and DVD discs with Parallels Desktop, see CD/DVD-ROM.

Install an Application from the Internet or local network

• Download the application or installation file and follow the instructions from the application's source.

In most cases, you can either run the installation file and follow the onscreen instructions or simply open the downloaded application.
