Oracle SES not certified on Windows 7

While installing Oracle SES on my Windows 7, I got the following error on Prerequisites Check page.

Checking operating system requirements ...
Expected result: One of 5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0
Actual Result: 6.1
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: Oracle Database 11g is not certified on the current operating system.
Recommendation: Make sure you are installing the software on the correct platform.

To solve this problem I modified the definition for Windows 7 in the refhost.xml file, setting the version value as 6.1 instead of 6.0.

This file’s location on my system is:
C:\Users\sonal\AppData\Local\Temp\OraInstall2014-04-01_10-09-26PM\db

    <!--Microsoft Windows Vista-->
    <OPERATING_SYSTEM>
      <VERSION VALUE="6.1"/>
    </OPERATING_SYSTEM>
  </CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>

After modifying the line in the xml file, I clicked the Retry button on installation window. It worked!
