As Windows 7 hasn’t been released yet, Intel Parallel Advisor Lite doesn’t offer official support for this operating system.

There is a very simple way to successfully install Intel Parallel Advisor Lite on Windows 7. Besides, the same steps work with Windows Vista.

Details in the article; not hard, but probably not obvious.
