I want to move from Parallels 8 to VirtualBox.

I uninstalled Parallels 8 dragging the app to the trash and ran some scripts to remove the remains. Now I need to install Parallels earliest version in order to run the VirtualBox converter and make the switch.

The problem is that when I run the Parallels 9 installation it prompts me to remove the old version. If I select "remove", it fails with an error. I can't find the files that the installer is using to check for old versions and cannot install without removing.

I tried to follow the guides on Parallels official page and comments on their forum, but all to no avail.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
