FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER Have you have downloaded the zip file from the "Plain .zip files" section on https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/6.0.4?p=allDownloads ?
If so, according to the instructions, you first have to:
"Extract these .zip files to quickly install specific IDE-based clients or other tools."
So you cannot execute the launchpad from within the zip file.
If that isn't what you have done, please be more explicit.
Also note that although you can run the server on a Windows7 machine for playing around (I do that myself), as Alan says, that is a supported platform for the server (it is a supported platform for the clients).

You were correct, I was trying (unknowingly) to execute from within the zip file, once I figured out how to properly unzip the file the error went away |

You should note that Windows 7 is not a supported platform for RTC server so it's possible that Launchpad needs some services that are only available via Windows Server.
Should I go to windows 8, Under plan and prepare if you click system requirements and go to windows, windows 7 is listed
