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? You might not have followed the installation guide. It tells you to first select “Farm” and then “Complete” on your first two screens after you [...] This is part of my continuing series on debugging SharePoint and PowerPivot. In this case, I do not expect any PowerPivot users to ever encounter this error in the context of PowerPivot.

What RDBMS does PowerPivot [...] A number of people have had issues with PowerPivot installation failures in CTP3. Hopefully, we have resolved all of these for RTM, but I can tell you that setup is still a bit tricky. To give you something of an understanding, the “New Farm” installation option is responsible for getting your machine up and running [...] A number of people have hit this issue and so it deserves a quick walkthrough of why it (unfortunately) can happen and how you fix it.
