BE media server does not support Win 7. Currently the only desktop OS supported as media server is XP, which would be discontinued in future version...And it supports server OS ranging from Windows 2003 onwards..

EDIT*** Here is the software compatibility list - http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH137682

Only BE2010 RAWS is supported on Win 7. You cannot install core product (media server) on Win 7.

Win XP can be used as a media server and RAWS can be installed on XP too.

Refer to BE2010 R3 SCL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH137682

EDIT: From next release onwards(BE2012) only server class OS will be eligible for being a Media server.
