Cannot install 8.6.3

I have currently been developing on an iMac using Parallels and Windows 10. I have had no problems with this at all. (I have been using Windows on a Mac using Parallels for many years (10+).

I am now shifting to a MacBookPro running the latest Parallels 13 and Windows 10. I am trying to install VA 8.6.3 but am having great difficulty.

The Smalltalk Environments  window is showing the following error.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Try deleting the Environments.dmp file located in your C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Instantiations\VA Smalltalk folder and then startup Environments.  Looks like it is tying to find an non-existent 862 installation. Alternatively, install 862 at the expected location and then clean up any existing Environments pointing to 862 .  Delete the 862 Installation from the Settings view.

Thanks,

Bob
