Default Please help a dumb old-man veteran player install on Mac

Hi and thank you, I am not the most tech literate.

I played back in the late 90s and early 2000s then played p1999 around 2013 and 2014.

I want to jump back in but am having some very serious roadblocks.

I am trying to play on Mac through Parallels, here are the specs:

macOS Monterey 64bit
3GHz DC Intel i7
16GB 1600 DDR3 RAM
Intel Iris 1536MB Graphics

I have the ISOs and Parallels installed.

When I run the install on Disc 1 the process begins fine but stops 1/3rd of the way in (stopping on C:\...\Sony\EverQuest\solrotower_obj.s3d) and I get this error:

*The following error occured on the file
*'\\Mac\EQ_TITANIUM_2\data3.cab'.
*
*The network name cannot be found.
*(0x43)

I get the option to ignore and I can about a dozen times with more files loading in the progress bar however it eventually crashes the install.

I have all ISOs mounted on the Mac side of things but all discs show up in the drives on Windows 10 in Parallels. I don't know how to mount the discs in Windows, if that is what I need to do I will need advice on how to do that. (Sorry, I have only ever had Mac computers.)

Any ideas why? I would like to knock this install out ASAP before the demo time of Parallels runs out so I know whether or not I need to budget for purchases a license.

All the best and thanks again!
