DataStage 7.5.1 client running on NT
Is there anyone running DS 7.5.1 client on NT? If so, have there been any issues regarding the install or connect.

In the past, you were able to install the client on unsupported platforms and (possibly) get away with it running ok. For example, XP Home. which the 6.x client worked just fine on.
With the advent of the 7.x series, not only is XP Pro the only flavor of XP supported, but the installer checks your operating system and if it isn't on the list of supported one - it will not let you install the product.

Contrary to suggestions provided. DataStage 7.5.1 client does install successfully on Windows NT SP6a.
We installed it this morning and developers are currently working that environment as well as XP. The only issue is that the product is not supported by Ascential for NT as they cannot guarantee that it works. But the proof is in the pudding.
