How to install PerformancePoint Server 2007 on Vista/Windows 7

As part of some work for a client, I have been doing some coding against PerformancePoint Server 2007. This has mainly been done on my VM but I prefer to do a lot of my development work on my main machine.

Currently I have MOSS 2007 running on it and I wanted to install PerformancePoint Server 2007 on it. Specifically the Planning Server setup.

Problem is that it complains that you are not running Windows2003 SP1 in a non domain environment.

To get around this use the following command line

msiexec /i PPLSrv.msi SKIPREQCHECK=1

This will remove the check for the installer and allow you to install on Vista.

To install the updates just change the command line to

msiexec /update PPLSrv.msp SKIPREQCHECK=1

You can use this for the other MSP files as well if required

Following on from the comments here is a screen comparison if you use the command line above

And without

You will notice that the next button is enabled to allow you to do the install.
