(Add one item to the task list of the Finder team at Apple.) I have seen this happen before: the internal structure of an OS installer app is rather complex, and sometimes the Finder can’t reliably copy it. No joy here either, because the copied installer app wouldn’t launch. Of the Mac VMs installed on my home iMac, the smallest one was Mavericks, so I created a duplicate of the Mavericks VM, booted it, and dragged the Sierra installer app into it. Then I tried to upgrade an existing Mac OS X VM to Sierra. (Add one item to the task list of the Parallels engineering team.) The internal structure of the installer app must be different enough that Parallels Desktop could not use the app directly. The first thing I tried was installing Sierra in a new, blank VM. As the product manager for Parallels Desktop, I was looking forward to installing Sierra in a VM. As a long-time Mac user, I was excited to hear about the next release of OS X, macOS Sierra (version 10.12 Beta, for those numerically inclined.) As a Mac developer, I had access to the Developer Preview released yesterday.
