Hi Pavithra,
here is doc which you can follow and see if that helps. https://community.informatica.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/86304-28392/Informatica_9.1_Server_Client_Installation.docx
try changing the compatibility of the install.bat or install.exe to windows 7 or vista or xp or 2008 and then run the client install see if that helps
