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 got Lotus to install in Win7 64-bit in the Program Files (x86) folder. I had to browse for the folder.

    I want to continue to use Lotus Freelance. 

    I'm trying to install using Windows 7 XP mode.  Of course that also has complications getting XP mode going like downloading and installing the optional software and like enabling visualization mode in the bios of my Sony Vaio . . . hope it works for all this work . . .

    Found this web page using a search engine.  Reading the info here encouraged me a lot to keep trying to find a way to install Lotus Smartsuite 9.8.1 on my new computer that runs Windows 7 64 bit.  I did get it installed (finally.)  On setup.exe I went into properties & set the compatibility to Vista.  Using the Install Wizard I chose a custom installation.  I did separate installations for wordpro, lotus123 & freelance graphics.  Installing the software this way worked beautifully!, all 3 of the smartsuite progs. are running fine -
