Windows 7 is only supported for PowerPivot for Excel; Windows 7 is not a supported OS for PowerPivot for SharePoint So you think that you have done everything right, but still SQL setup (in PowerPivot SharePoint integration mode) still reports “You don’t have a ‘Complete’ SharePoint installation.” How can this happen?
