  I tried this. I can use the IW Demo on another machine, but the laptop I was hoping to use for presentations only has 4GB, so I hoped the Easy Setup on Win 7 might be an alternative. Once the installation completed I found that although Word Automation Services was running, Excel Services was not. Is this expected behavior with this demo? Should I install Office Web Apps to get Excel Services?
