Planning on updating office computer. Our Tech doesn't think our lotus will run on the new Windows 7 64 bit. Need to confirm.

IBM is marketing Lotus now, so it's up to them.  http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/smartsuite/

If it works on Vista, it's very likely to work on Win7.

    I read in an earlier response that if you install Lotus Smartsuite with the "setup.exe" command in the RUN box it works. I was having the same problem as you. It would not load in autorun. It loaded the first try in "setup.exe".

    I think a lot of people are missing the point with their answers.  The question was "will Lotus Smatsuite run with Windows 7 64 BIT ?", not "will it run on Windows  7 ?"  The answer is NO.  IBM state this fact clearly on their web site http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21411413

    It works!  I have Windows 7 Home and Lotus SmartSuite Millenium Edition.  I tried autorun with no luck the other day.  Then saw this posting, used 'setup' and now have all the bits of SmartSuite I want.  I am so pleased, thanks for the tip.

    I was unable to install Lotus Smart Swite 9.8.1 on Windows 7 Professional. Says "error accessing registry", then "unexpected error". I hope IBM has a fix for this.
