Maximizer components for Microsoft Internet Information Services are not supported on any Windows XP-based, Windows Vista-based, or Windows 7-based computers

Because Web Access (Maximizer components for Microsoft IIS) may have to handle larger amounts of processing (as the number of concurrent Web Access clients increase, we recommend that you install Web Access on a server with dual or quad processors and more RAM than the minimum requirements. In addition, it is recommended that customers who are planning a deployment of Web Access on a server machine, that will potentially have physical memory demands in excess of 4GB of physical RAM, deploy on a 64-bit operating system.
