Hi,

I was facing this problem from 4 months, After repeated efforts i finally installed the EP in my windows7 i.e. for standalone installation of AX.

I hope that you know the prerequisites of EP. For installing of these requirements you need to do the following steeps.

- Configure the IIS in ur PC,
- Configure the .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.0
- Download MOSS on vista in install.
- Download SharePoint services, for installing SharePoint services you have to first you have to install MOSS on vista then browse "C\*_Program Files\WssOnVista\Setup"_\* click **Setuplouncher** select the SharePoint.exe file which you have downloaded, then proceed with regular installation steeps , in between the installation you will get a step where you have to give database name give your SQL server instance name and compleate the installation.

Windows 7 OS will not allow you to install the AOS normally.are you using the client in your machine?
