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.

    Thank you Dwion

    I thought I'd have to give up Freelance with Win7/64, Based on IBM's official position.

    But your workaround of running Setup.exe in Vista Compatibility mode Worked!!!

    I am now happily using Freelance.  The best ever graphics package..

    I am working with Windows 7, printer hp officejet 6110 works fine.

    Although, when using my Lotus SmartSuite, I am not able to print.

    My printer is not listed…

    Any ideas?

    THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS SOLUTION!!!  YES IT DOES WORK!!  I spent HOURS on the phone with lotus inIndia and they were of no assistance.  I too have a new windows 7 64 bit laptop and was getting the registry error when I tried to install from the disk.  After reading this post I went into windows explorer and found the 'setup' file on the CD and clicked on it.  Voila - it installed and now it works JUST THE WAY MY HUSBAND LIKES IT.

    Thanks again for sharing this tip.
