Parallels 7 + Mountain Lion?

Although the Parallels 7 website says it supports mountain lion, the upgrade process seems to have dump Parallels in the "doesn't work under 10.8" applications folder. This on a 2011 13" MBP.
Annoying.
It did the same with VMware on an 2008 iMac, but I didn't care as I hadn't used it for years.

I guess if you are using an out dated version of Parallels 7 you'd have issues.
As a beta tester for 10.8 i had to wait until Parallels 7 was updated for it to be compatible with ML. But that was March - April time frame.
Maybe check for updates in Parallels.
I upgraded from 6.x to 7 in June. I guess it is possible that there has been an upgrade I've missed in the last couple of weeks (I haven't used parallels for a while).
Still annoying, as there seems to be no easy way to upgrade it if you can't turn it on in any way whatsoever.
I have Parallels 6, which runs OK under Lion...any chance of having it functional under ML as well? Has anyone tested?
I went on to the parallels site (eventually figured how to get past the advert to the support stuff) and downloaded a full new install. Works OK now.
I assume if you do a check for updates on parallels before installing ML it will work OK. Must have been tweaked for ML in the last few weeks as it hasn't been that long since I used it.

Been using it on a ML developer preview (4) with no problems. But I downloaded while using Lion. The GM shouldn't matter.
I got it for the Win8 Consumer preview.

It worked fine for me. I had v7 already installed and upgraded to ML earlier today and have been able to run Windows 7 through Parallels with no problems.
Are you sure? At the end of the upgrade, I got a message saying that it wasn't compatible and that the app had been put into an "incompatible apps" folder or something
Parallels Desktop 6
I also have Parallels Desktop 6. And it's not working for me.
Any suggestions beside of upgrading to version 7. ;-)

I've checked other sites and it seems like this is it...Parallels wants you to pay $50 for its software to run on a $20 OS upgrade...VirtualBox will probably be the way for me.
Got it. Thanks. I had to download and re-install.
A word of advice for others... upgrade\update parallels first, then buy Mountain Lion. Much easier.
I had the same issue after installing ML. Went to the Parallels website
http://www.parallels.com/download/desktop/
and was sent a link to download the latest version. Installed it and everything is good again!

I posted a few weeks ago asking and at the time P6 was working on the Beta (or at least was told so). I had the opportunity to upgrade to P7 for $30 but passed because I was told P6 worked fine with ML. Now of course it doesn't and I must pay $50 just to run 1 program also knowing that P8 will probably be out in a month or 2.
