You can try Process Monitor (from sysinternals) to get a trace of system 
calls and failures. There may be something indicative there.

If it works in Winbuilder and on your Windows installation, and you 
don't do anything special in the package, and can't find a way to debug 
this, you can perhaps assume it is specific to your Parallels Windows 
installation and ignore.

You can try with a shorter username (e.g. "witold" only - up to 8 ASCII 
characters) - maybe your installation in Parallels doesn't enable short 
names by default on the used volume - but, this is a guess, the trace 
would allow to tell more, and I would expect an indicative error message 
if this were the cause.
