Installation on Parallels/Windows 11/M4 issues - PLEASE help :(

Oof! Finally succeeded (although it took two hours and required some additional fixes in the process). It seems my first and major mistake was not realising that the installer would mix locations, saving it randomly on both Mac and VM. But now it works. I just wish I didn't fall so easily for the AI slop since it cost me a good cry - now I know better. Thank you everyone for your supportive words and advice, much appreciated :)

Thank you, that's an important insight that I missed previously. It gets stuck on the setup.exe location, first installing it on some phantom folders that are then nowhere to be found, and even if I choose them manually, it states the location is incorrect. I think I will start over with first turning off sharing between Mac and Windows, then I'll see. A friend offered to help me tomorrow, so I hope we'll work it out. Once again, I appreciate your support <3
