Hi there
This issue comes up quite regularly and as I've mentioned before, Win7 is not supported for 8.4
See the 8.4 supported environments page
Google keywords "IBM Cognos 8.4 supported environments"

Only 8.4.1 is supported with caviets
Microsoft Windows 7   Active   Active for Browser and Client only (15)
(15) Windows 7 is not a supported operating system for Transformer.

What you need to use is the Windows 7 virtual environment setting which uses XP which will allow you to install 8.4.

If you really must use Windows 7, then I'd suggest looking at VMware as another alternative.
Cheers
