SAP HANA - DATA SERVICES

Hi,

I am trying to install SAP Data Services 4.2onmy laptop (MS Windows 8.1 Enterprise)

-> I get the OPTIONAL error message "SAP Information platform services"                      - Failed (see attached)

-> I get the CRITICAL information message "SAP Information platform services version" - Succeeded

These appear to be 2 contradictory messages!

-> Do I have IPS installed on my machine?

I try to install "Information Platform services 4.1 SP4

-> I get CRITICAL error message "Windows version" - Failed (see attached)

I was trying to install IPS because it is required for Data Services

Can I ignore the OPTIONAL IPS error and proceed with DS 4.2 installation?

What will impact be of doing so?

Can I do this scenario on my laptop?

Thanks
