Resolution

1. Insert the original Leopard DVD into the DVD drive of the Mac. Connect the disk to the virtual machine by choosing the "Default CD/DVD" drive under the "Devices - DVD rom" menu.


2. Hold down the Shift key in order to disable the autorun option and stop the Boot Camp drivers automatic installation. If the Boot Camp window appears click on the "Cancel" button to cancel this installation.

3. Open MyComputer, right-click on the Boot Camp DVD disk, choose the "Open" option, browse to the "Drivers-Apple" folder and find the "AppleiSightInstaller.exe" file.

4. Connect the iSight camera to the virtual machine. To do so please choose the iSight camera under the "Parallels - Devices - USB" menu.

5. Double-click on the AppleiSightInstaller.exe to install the required drivers for iSight. Please follow the on-screen instructions.


Troubleshooting:


If the "apppleisightinstaller" installation wizard does not start automatically then it means that either the ISight camera isn't connected to the virtual machine or boot camp 1.3 driver for isight is installed in the system. 


How to install the drivers manually:


  1. Run your VM, start Windows.

  2. Open Device Manager (Start –> Run –> type devmgmt.msc and click OK).

  3. Click Devices in Parallels Desktop menu and choose Isight Camera.

  4. Check if iSight camera or any unknown device will appear in Device Manager after that.

  5. Insert the original Leopard DVD into the DVD drive of the Mac. Connect the disk to the virtual machine by choosing the "Default CD/DVD" drive under the "Devices - DVD rom" menu.

  6. Go to Start - Run. Type CMD and click OK.

  7. In Windows command interpreter type cd desktop. Press Enter.

  8. Then type appleisightinstaller -p. Press Enter.

Isight driver installation should start after that.
