Then i tried all this with the kde version of kali linux. same error. i downloaded the iso image via torrent, same error
Then i tried to install kali on a second partition on my Macbook using an USB Stick and it always Stuck on 60% and says Error installing System. i tried it with different
iso images and kali versions (weekly builds 39/40 and 2016.2) different burn methodes (win32disk manager, dd mac, dd ubuntu) different drives (external 250gb HDD, 2nd partition MAC, 3 different USB Sticks.)

Are you just trying to make a virtual machine? I'm not familiar at all with macOS so I'm not sure exactly how Parallels works (It is a VM program, right?). Usually for a VM, you can just select the ISO file itself to install the system, there's no need to burn a USB. If you're trying to install to the device and dual boot, that's a whole different story.

I tried it once to install it in Prallels Desktop.

the other times i tried it to dual boot it .

i tried:

i booted up from the usb stick where the linux iso was burned then i choose install (tried it with graphical and text only) and then i choose the the usb disk where kali should be installed, tried also 2nd partition and a completly blank hdd.

Like I said, I don't have any experience with macOS or Parallels, but have you tried just selecting the ISO in Parallels? In VirtualBox, and I believe in Gnome Boxes, you are prompted to select an ISO file (not burned to a USB) and it will boot from that.
