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?

2012-06-01T13:22:13+00:00 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
Actually that is NOT what it says. It says the exact opposite. Here is a cut and paste from the page YOUR link takes one to. Microsoft Windows 7:
Microsoft Windows 7 was released in both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit versions.
- The 32-bit version and 64-bit version of Windows 7 are supported by IBM/Lotus.
No major compatibility issues have been reported when running SmartSuite or Organizer on the Windows 7 version. Therefore, Lotus Product Support is available to take calls related to Windows 7 from licensed SmartSuite and Organizer customers who are on active maintenance.

2012-10-15T23:05:37+00:00 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.
I had the same problem,but after reading the other posts, I just typed: D:/setup.exe in the command line and even though those other messages appeared, it went ahead and installed! Try it!

2012-12-09T05:40:08+00:00 This is to inform anyone reading this site that still wold like to use Lotus Smart Suite that it will run on all Platforms. We understand this is an old posting but if anyone is reading this you should know we install Lotus Smart Suite version 9.8 on Server 2003, Server 2008 and Server 2008R2 32 or 64 BIT systems. We also run this version using Terminal Server on these Server Platforms. Do not use atorun with the install menu of Auto Run. Select to open the disk so you can browse into the CD. You can also copy the content of the CD to a thumb drive or hard drive and run it from there. We do this all the time, just run Setup.exe found in the ROOT of the CD or you can run the Lotus SmartSuite - English.MSI.
