I have also sent an email to request a copy of the Install Instructions.  Thanks much for your help!

Installation on Windows 7 is not a problem! I don't have experience with the 64 bit version, but 32 bit is not a problem.

If you want to install send me your E-mail address in a personal message and I can send you a Word document on how to install it. The word document has all sorts of screen shots in it for every single step!

If you are using IIS 7.0 (that's what I used when installing for the Word document) check the following:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21343353

If you are using IIS 7.50 check the following:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21381516

If you are installing Cognos 64 bit on a 64 bit OS it is possible that you need to run IIS in 32 bit mode. (This is because a part of the 64 bit suite is still in 32 bit. And that part is the website)
In order to run IIS in 32 bit mode run the following in a command prompt:
cscript [your location]\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
(Search for the adsutil.vbs to fill in [your location])

How did you set IIS to allow browsing for images in Report Studio?  I am getting an error: 405.

 Hi Srini,

   Could you keep this document somewhere in the common workspace if possible. So that the person who need this file can pick it up from the place.

Regards,
Himaiyan
