OBIEE 10g Tools on Windows 7 Setup

This Version of OBIEE is then not supported and you have no other choice that to cancel the installation.
To be able to start the installer, you have to use the compatibility functionality of Windows 7. And even when you use this possibility, you can get this error:

ODBC Connections for Online Administration of RPD

If you cant see the ODBC Connection Analyticsweb
Use the 32bit ODBC Client here
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

The 64-bit ODBC Administrator tool can be invoked from Control Panel to manage user DSNs and system DSNs that are used by 64-bit processes. On a 64-bit operating system, the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool is used for Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64) processes. You must directly invoke the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool from the SysWoW64 folder. You can use the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool to manage user DSNs and system DSNs that are used by WOW64 processes.

System DSNs are stored in the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI
Registry redirection is enabled for this registry subkey. Therefore, system DSNs for 32-bit drivers and for 64-bit drivers are separated. The 64-bit ODBC Administrator tool does not display system DSNs that are created by the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool. Similarly, the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool does not display system DSNs that are created by the 64-bit ODBC Administrator tool. Also, the 64-bit ODBC Administrator tool does not display system DSNs that use 32-bit drivers. Similarly, the 32-bit ODBC Administrator tool does not display system DSNs that use 64-bit drivers.

User DSNs are stored in the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI
Registry redirection is not enabled for this registry subkey. Therefore, both ODBC Administrator tools display all user DSNs.
