Hi,

Windows 8 is not a supported platform for the current 10.1.1 release as of today (3rd September 2012).

Hey Raki,

I have installed Cognos 10.1 in windows 8 and is working as expected. I chose IIS (IIS 8 in Win8) and MSSQL for my installation. Unfortunately Win 8 IE10 does not support any of the Studios, however you can view the existing report. I spent some time and found a better alternative, installed Mozilla 3.5 and am working swiftly.

Cheers,
Muki

Hi,

Will Cognos 8 ever be supported or support IE10?

It's very unlikely.  Historically, compliance for infrastructure (database, OS, browser) has been done in new releases (so 10.2.1 or 10.3 or something will have it).  In addition, 8.4.1 support retires in Sep 2013.  http://www-01.ibm.com/software/support/lifecycleapp/PLCDetail.wss?synkey=U487531B48832U38-L127990C52273T96-E455115T26091X87

Pretty much what I expected as the answer. It looks like we're moving to Cognos 10 soon so it's no longer an issue.

Support for IE10 has just been released with the latest 10.2.1 version of Cognos (although it requires IE to run in Compatibility Mode).
