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.

2014-03-03T00:54:41+00:00 Well, I recall getting that error message one time when I was installing it on a new computer and it seems to me that it was trying to install itself on a different drive besides "C". It took awhile before I noticed what it was doing and was able to fix it. That was years ago so I'm not clear on all the details but I do know it was solvable. Good luck.

2014-04-25T16:59:07+00:00 I just installed Windows 7 - the only part of Lotus SmartSuite I wanted was 123. I couldn't load it until I tried this - just opened the run command then typed in D:setup.exe (or was it D:/setup.exe) and it worked like a charm. I think I could have loaded the whole Suite but didn't try as I didn't want it. Thanks - you've saved me a pile of time as I'd have to convert a lot of files to Excel on another computer then transfer them over. This is great!
