Cognos 8 installation on Windows Vista

[techieaman]

Hi,

Has anyone tried installing Cognos 8 on Vista as yet? I believe it comes bundled with IIS 7.0 which is not supported by Cognos.

Can anyone throw some light on this installation?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Aman

I tried it once, and I did get it working on Vista/IIS7.

Although I don't remember the exact procedure (sorry, months ago), I do remember that you have to change some MIME settings.

Forgive me, I tried it once, but it was a hell of a job back then...

Thanks for your reply. Your affirmation makes me try for another attempt, though it was unsuccesfull the last time.

Just a FYI, the new release of Cognos 8 (8.3) will be compatible with Vista. Haven't tested it yet, but that is the claim currently listed by Cognos.

If you read the supported environments page, the studios and client tools are supported on Vista.  However a server install is not (if I'm reading it correctly)

Did you get it working?

Hi,

Boom !!! The day has finally come.
Windows Vista is fully compatible with Cognos 8.3 (from their support site).

Please try that  :)

Thanks all for your reply. I couldnt do an install of 8.1 on Vista, but will try for a 8.3 install now.

Thanks
