I am trying to build a Windows 10 Vagrant box for Parallels using Packer via Stefan Scherer https://github.com/StefanScherer/packer-windows templates. I can successfully build boxes for VirtualBox but when I try to build for Parallels I get the following error: ``` $ packer build --only=parallels-iso windows_2019_docker.json parallels-iso: output will be in this color. Build 'parallels-iso' errored after 372 milliseconds 173 microseconds: Failed creating Parallels driver: Unable to initialize any driver. Supported Parallels Desktop versions: 10, 9, 11 ==> Wait completed after 372 milliseconds 254 microseconds ==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors: --> parallels-iso: Failed creating Parallels driver: Unable to initialize any driver. Supported Parallels Desktop versions: 10, 9, 11 ==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created. ``` I have Parallels Desktop for Mac App Store Edition and I have installed parallels-virtualization-sdk via `brew reinstall --cask parallels-virtualization-sdk`
Resolved. Parallels was installed over Parallels Desktop Lite and it appears that the install didn't fully overwrite the old version. Deleting the Parallels app from /Applications, then reinstalling resolved the issue.
