Parallels installation difficulty

Hi, I'm having trouble installing mathcad on a M1 Mac parallels VM - despite having a good internet connection through the VM, I normally get "unable to launch installer, please check your network connection". I've tried this many times, and occasionally I get through to the bit where you choose which products to install. However, I've never successfully completed installation.

As I dug into this a bit further - I get the same effect on a different browser.  I took a look at the certificate error and it looks like I'm blocked by goskope.com which I think is our corporate filter provider.  I've repeated the install on my personal laptop - and everything seems to be fine.  It's sub-optimal that I can't install on a work machine, but I'm ok with this solution.

 

Thanks for all the support.

 Hi,

 

1. What version are you trying to install?
2. What installer are you using for this?

1. I'm just trying to install the latest trial version so I can check it works with parallels on M1 before purchasing.  It looks like it should be PTC mathcad express according to the webpage.  However, I can't tell a version number from that.

2. The executable downloaded is pim_installmgr_mathcad.exe

 

Thanks for the follow-up
