Default Anyone tried running EQ Titanium/1999 on Mac w/ Parallels Desktop?

This might not be the best place to ask since this doesn't specifically pertain to Project 1999 itself, but I figured this question might be more relevant here than anywhere else (and I'm sure there are some very tech-savvy people on these forums).

I have a Mac pro with Parallels desktop running a Windows 7 virtual machine. I've never had any problems installing/running PC only games on the Windows 7 portion until now.

After finally tracking down and acquiring Everquest Titanium I eager opened the box ready to venture onto EQ happiness. I began to install but immediately got stuck when it asked where to place the installation.

I tried to place it in Program files but received the message "You cannot install to your documents folder. Please select another location." Ok, so I try to place it under Users, same message. I tried about every folder I could and still received the same message. When I tried to just save it to desktop, I got the error "You cannot install to your desktop. Please select another location." I've tried every location available for the installation and cannot move past.

I went through the process on an older laptop and got up and playing in no time. I'd really like to run this on my main computer though! I googled the issue but oddly didn't find any discussion on this particular issue.

I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that I'm running a virtual machine, but I'm confused because as far as the game knows, it's just being installed to Windows 7.

Once again, I apologize that this is not related to Project 1999 directly, but I don't know where else to go. Any thoughts, advice, or words of encouragement would be much appreciated.

Cheers.
