I just successfully installed OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium edition 64-bit. Things to watch out for are:
1. Download JDK 1.6 u 16 320bit version
2. Define environment variable JAVA_HOME
3. Add 32-bit Java Home in PATH definition
4. change the OBIEE setup.exe compatible mode to Vista for all users ( Win XP 3 did not work for me)
Here are the step by step instruction to install on OBIEE11g on XP.

Hi,
I tried installing OBIEE 10g on Windows 7 as you have suggested but am facing the following error
“The Installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag.
Please suggest.
@Kiran29,
This error usually happens because of memory . See if you have enought free memory on system.
You could still install it in console (command line) mode.
It is not taking my Java/Bin folder,while installing in Win7-Home Premium(vista compatibility mode). What should I do?
@ debabrata ,
