I have Flare running on my MBP under Parallels 5 and it isn't behaving
quite as well as it should. Has anyone else out there done this? I get
an error message on launch:
"Failed to run command "Getting Started Wizard...'. Exception: Invalid
URI: The hostname could not be parsed."
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Got a solution from MadCap. You have to turn off Enable Shared Profile
in Parallels beffore you install Flare. When you're done, you can turn
it back on.

Well, now the MadCap folks tell me that you have to leave Enable Shared
Profile off because it confuses Flare. Apparently, the shared profile
works fine in VMWare Fusion. I found that out too late.
