Installing Hyperion on Vista

Hi All ,
Recently I purchased a laptop (Dell) with Vista on it. Now I am not able to install either SQl server/ Oracle or any Hyperion products. Is there any issue with Vista and Hyperion ? Do i need to uninstall Vista and Install Win2003? Is it simple to do so?
Please suggest.
Thank you All.

The VM way is really the only path if you want the full stack of applications (and full stack means different things to different people -- for me that is Essbase, SS, Workspace, Planning, HFM, FDM, HFR, and WA) and a usuable laptop.
It's a pain but the only other option is to go with a real server OS -- this is not so fantastic because of Windows Server's poor laptop support. There isn't any "sleep on lid close" power management option that I can find. There are other issues as well. We should probably just be glad that laptops are so powerful.
Having said that, if you can stomach the inconvenience of a server OS, it's faster and has less issues.
VMWare does allow you to snapshot your installation efforts. I suspect this is my non-infrastructure roots showing, but I've probably installed 11.1.1.3 about seven times on my VM. Dropping the latest not-working-perfectly install has been nice. I prefer to only install products once to avoid Windows crud -- I can now do so on my laptop's native Vista OS given my practice. One caveat, a VM to run the "stack" requires lots of RAM. I had one on a 32 bit laptop -- it was really painful. I'm now doing it on a 64 bit laptop and the 8 gigabytes of RAM makes it usable.
Btw, Vista seems to just slow things down. Unfortunately, Windows 7 is not supported (I just saw someone try to install SmartView onto a 7 laptop -- not pretty). Tim Tow has done it (of course :) ) and has promised a writeup on it on his blog. Of course not supported, but that's what makes it fun, right?

    This solved it for me!
    From another forum:
    "1. Put the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start your computer.
    2. Hold down Option key till all available disks are displayed and select DVD. Press a key when you are prompted.
    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then 4. click Next.
    5. Click Repair your computer.
    6. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
    7.In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
    Type (these commands are safe)
    Code: Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
    Code: Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
    Code: Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd
    *Press ENTER after each command.*

    Doublechecking, Alex. Have you tried the procedures from the following post?

  • TS1717 Trying to download iTunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
    The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
    I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
    You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
    In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
    WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
    This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
    No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

  • Adobe Reader V9.0 will not install on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate Build 6001 and tried to install adobe reader V9.0. The download was fine but when I run the program (AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe) it returns the error:
    "NOSSO (R) has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
    Close program"
    So I guess my questions are
    1. Is there a version of adobe reader that will install on windows vista ultimate SP1?
    or
    2. Is there another pdf reader that will work with Vista Ultimate SP1?
    Thanks for any and all assistance!!
    Mark

    I am getting the exact same error:
    I have a brand new HP xw8600 systems with 64 bit Vista Ultimate installed.
    Via google I found a suggestion to turn on user account control.
    I went to control panel > User Account > Turn User Account Control
    checked the box and restarted the system. I ran the install as the administrator. It was a minor improvement. Instead of the error coming up immediately like it was, I got the OS confirmation asking if I wanted to install the program. I got the failure right have selecting "yes"
    Running out of clues... any help?

    My customer has a HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 installed locally on Vista Business with driver 8.12.2008 He wants to share this for use on the XP PC but after installation on XP and trying to go into printer properties the message comes up "The HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series' printer driver is not installed on this computer. etc etc Do you want to install the driver now? It doesnt matter if you go through the installation process or not, when you try and print a test page you get "Test page failed to print. Would you like to troubleshoot etc"
    I have tried installing the XP drivers locally AND on the Vista PC but with no luck. On the shared tab under "additional drivers" there are only Vista drivers listed.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    Depending on the model of the unit it may not be wireless. if it says A809n then it is a wireless model, but the A809a model is not.  http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01659070.pdf Here is the manual for that unit in case you need it.

    I have installed Oracle Database 10gR2 Enterprise Edition on Vista Business Premium and run it with no issues.

    Hi Guys,
    Creating Oracle Inventory Installation Step Does Not Finish and Hangs at 99% while installing Hyperion 11.1.1.4.I'm running the installer from a local drive and also noticed that the uninstaller files are not created.The installer process has been running for 4+ hours.
    Any suggestions/tips?
    Thanks
    Manoj

    hi John,
    we left the installer running overnight, but the install process has still not completed.Also it has not created any uninstaller files under the following directory:
    E:\APPS\Hyperion\uninstall
    what could be the reason for that?
    Thanks.
