Meta Quest Link App - Installation Fails on Parallels Windows (M4 Pro MacBook)

Hello Quest Support Group,

 

I’ve been struggling to get the Meta Quest Link app installed on my Parallels Windows setup running on an M4 Pro MacBook. After numerous attempts, I always encounter the same error: “Sorry, we encountered an error during installation. Please restart your computer and try running Link Setup again.”

 

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Restarting the virtual machine and reinstalling the app
  • Ensuring that my Parallels setup and Windows environment are fully updated
  • Allocating sufficient resources (RAM/CPU) to the VM - 4 CPUs and 8GB
  • Checking for USB and driver compatibility between macOS and Parallels

 

Despite this, the error persists. Has anyone successfully installed the Quest Link app on Parallels Windows in a similar setup? Are there any workarounds or specific settings I might be missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance!
