ok, i'm having a pretty strange problem with the install.app file for parallels 4.0. everytime i try to open the file it just opens a blank document in word. nothing happens. i can't figure out how it associated the .app with word or, more importantly, how to fix this. if anyone has any ideas, i would greatly appreciate the advice. thanks. - mat
 
If absolutely nothing else, you can go in via the Terminal and manually execute whatever the binary is at Parallels.app/Contents/MacOS. But I don't like that solution. The "correct" solution is to reset the Launch Services settings, and that is done by:

1) delete the Launch Services caches at
/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-023{0,${UID}}.csstore
and reboot.

2) run in terminal:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
 
or, in Terminal you can go to the working directory of Parallels, and type "open install.app"
