Use the "My Messages" link at the top of the page to sent Srinivas a personal message.  It's really not a good idea to post your email address publicly on here - you are inviting spammers and phishing scams.  If I were you, I would remove my email address from the post (or I or any of the moderators can do it for you if you wish?)

Hi all,

Its really not this difficult.

1.  You CANT install 8.4.0 directly onto WINDOWS 7 (Final, no arguements, finito)
2.  You first need to install XP MODE onto WINDOWS 7.. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
3.  Startup XP MODE on your WINDOWS 7 desktop
4.  LOGON to The XP console on your WINDOWS 7 desktop.   See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7
5.  (XP Console) Map a drive to where the Cognos 8.4 software exists or if you have media use the cdrom
6.  (XP Console) Install Cognos 8.4.0

I hope this helps to solve this long running thread
Cheers
Peter

hi
i am  subbu

please send me document how to install cognos 8 on windows 7

Yikes! My email address has been removed by a muppet! I guess that means I should have read the other threads and seen that I shouldn't have posted it up. You should send me a personal message instead if you want to communicate with me directly. I promise not to post my address up again.

Hi friends

Am new to cognos. Can anybody please send me the pdf for installation of cognos 8.3 on windows 7 or Xp.

my mail id is: not here. It was removed by the muppet. Why oh why didn't I read his comments not to post my email address?

Thanks in advance

I would like to install Cognos 8.3 in my Windows 7 Home Premium OS . Can you please help me/ send me PDF that describe the steps of installation?

Email: It's not here. It was, then it wasn't.  I think a Muppet removed it. I'm not quite sure how I managed to miss the fact that he has removed every other email address and asked people not to post their addresses publicly. Maybe I did notice and thought I'd be ok? Oh well. It's gone now. I had better not post it up again or I may get into a bit of muppety trouble.

System configuration: Windows 7 64bit

Dear friend..!
Please send me the pdf file of Installing cognos.
My Mail ID : not.there@deletedbyamuppet.com  This is a great domain to use to post your email address in a forum which explicitly asks you not to. I had to search for ages to find it, but now I always use deletedbyamuppet.com for all my illicit posts including my email address. I wonder if any of the moderators will spot that I included my email address in the post here?

Thanks

I got the 'NT 4.0 or higher required' error when attempting to install Cognos 8.4.0 Modeling on a Windows 7 laptop.  I noticed alot of answers here referred to links, or offered to help via email, I wanted to post the solution I used.

Create a shortcut to iisetup.exe.  Go to the shortcut properties and select 'Compatibility' tab.  Check the box next to 'Run this shortcut in compatibility mode for:' and select 'Windows XP (Service Pack 3)' from the dropdown.  Click ok, then run the shortcut.  Modelling will install without any problems.

lol. That's absolutely supported Ties. What isn't supported is installing BI server 8.4.0 on Windows 7 :)
