Hello, I was trying to install parallel desktop for Kali following this guide https://kb.parallels.com/123968
But I get stuck at the end by this. If you could help I'd really appreciate it :-)

Have you looked at the file referenced on that screen? Look up any error in google first.

I did, but I didn't manage to understand much about it.
This is what it comes up

Possibly your system requires kernel headers to build modules. You can google on that.

I updated the headers and retried to install, but without success.
Hello DioniOdam.
I have the same problem as you. Did you manage to solve it?
Kind Regards, Damjan

Hi damjan, unfortunately not. Didn't manage yet.
I'm fairly certain I have this solved. I scanned the log files and found several error messages about incorrect data types being passed between functions. I found the functions and structures used by the Parallels Tools installer scripts and C source files. There are two in particular, a function and a data structure, that have been deprecated/changed in the 5.7.0 kernel. I think it is these changes that are keeping the installer from completing.
I'll keep updating here...
