Has any one been able to install cognos 8.4.1 on windows 7 professional

Hi,

I'm trying to install cognos 8.4.1 on windows 7 professional.
There was a document which had a step by step instructions for the installation. I followed and completed everything but finally when opening the page using cognosisapi.dll
the webpage looked like trying to download something but gave an error saying cognosisapi is not associated with any program or something.. pls advice..

There is a document in this thread which I used for installation,

Any help is appreciated. If IIS does not work then pls forward steps using Apache tomcat.

Thanks,

If you read all entries of the mentioned topic, then you may perhaps use the XP emulation? An alternative is using a Virtual machine.  8.4.1 on XP is a breeze!!

Check all those steps, make sure you did all, especially on page 6: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21439145&aid=1

Good luck!

Windows 7 and 8.4.1 are not supported. However I know for a fact that it works in XP emulation.

@Sashafay I'm able to access cognos portal now, Thanks for your document.
