And as suspected, EXE downloads do not work in Mac OS or in the Windows VM. Next, I boot my MacBook from current Mac OS install on internal HDD which includes Mac OS X 10.6.3, all Apple updates, Norton Anti-Virus, Live Updates, and finally Parallels 5.0 (which is the order in which they were installed). So nothing to do with routers or DHCP or network adapters. Downloading executable/full-size EXE files in Safari worked. So here's what I did and the cause, at least for me, was Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus For Mac 11.1 (both before and after running Live Update).įirst, I boot my MacBook Pro from my external FireWire drive that has my emergency backup/restore boot image, and contains no anti-virus or virtualization software. Lots of hints online about this issue, but no solution, so I decided to at least figure out root cause. I noticed this as a problem yesterday on my newly built MacBook Pro - Mac OS X 10.6.3 (all updates) only when the Java update kept failing in Windows 7 Ultimate VM running on Parallels 5.0.
