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.
will Lotus SmartSuite run on Windows 7?

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

2013-09-29T05:50:44+00:00 Lotus Smartsuite does install on Win. 7 64 bit. The solution was given in the immediately preceding message. Don't try to run it from the CD. Copy all the files from the CD to your hard drive, into a folder. Then click on setup.exe and it should install with no problem.

2013-09-29T05:23:23+00:00 I have smartsuite installed on 3 computers running Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 all 64 bit. I am setting up a new machine to replace the Vista machine and the problem I am having is the new one is running Windows 7 64 bit with a 1.5 TB drive in it. Lotus reports the available HD free space as a negative number. I have always used explorer and gone to the cd drive and double clicked on setup with no problems, but for this machine I am guessing Lotus does not know how to handle a large hard drive. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I'm having exactly the same problem. Where you able to find a solution?

2013-09-27T12:48:46+00:00 Even installing through setup.exe I observed that this app saves part of its files in a different partition. So, if you leave attached a removable flash drive ou external HD for instance, this unit will store part of Lotus files.
- Problem nr. 1: You cannot eject this drive;
You may shut-down the computer... but
- Problem 2 : You mey see a "1327 Error Message" for a missing drive (drive letter may vary...)
My sollution:
- Copied entire CD files to C: .....\ downloads
- No removable drive attached when installing
- Installed double-clicking Setup.exe
The software installed successfuly. I could check afterwards that the program created a lotus directory in D: (an existing partition in the PC hard drive).
Hope have hopped.
