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

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.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

By 'Pure Luck', I installed a separate program using an external CD Drive [Via USB Cable] instead of using the 'Built In' CD/DVD Drive on the Dell Computer. Out of curiosity, I decided to again attempt to install Organizer 6.0 using the external USB CD/DVD. Lotus Organizer 6.0 installed 'Perfectly'........I was amazed, because I had attempted 10-12 different 'work arounds', but all those attempts were using the internal CD/DVD Drive on the Dell Computer, and all ending with the same error message: 'Not Enough Space On Hard Drive'.

I do not know why - but after 4+/- days of attempting to install this program, I was finally successful. Huh!

Since then, I have attempted to install various other programs which also failed using the CD/DVD Drive which is internal to the Dell computer - Conversely, 'No Luck' with the external USB CD/DVD drive!

So, I have no reason to understand 'Why'. But, at this point, I'm pleased that I was able to finally cause Organizer 6.0 to install correctly. And, I'll continue to try various solutions on the remaining programs .............

Thank you for your prompt response.

If you have it installed, I would work on converting Org6 files to org5. There must be a way. I have been functioning with all things Lotus on Win. 7 and am grateful.

Re: 'Not Enough Disk Space' on Drive C when Installing Lotus Organizer 6.0

Has anyone found a solution for the HMH55 entry on February 6, 2013?

I have attempted to install Lotus Organizer 6.0 on Win 7 64 bit, with a 2TB Hard Drive, and repeatedly receive the same message - i.e. 'Not Enough Disk Space'. I have never experienced any issues with the installation of LO 6.0 previously, and have had it installed on Win 7 32 bit & Win 8 64 bit.

I have also attempted to install it:

     1. Using the Setup in the root directory of the CD, and the Install.exe

     2. Transferring the files to a USB Drive and using both Setup.exe as well as Install.exe

     3. And, I have ran a Compatability 'check' ........ selecting XP Svc Pack 2.

Nothing works. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

P.S. SmartSuite 9.8 installed correctly, but contains LO 5.org. All of my Calendars are 6.org - and I'd prefer to continue to use Lotus Organizer 6.0. Thank you.

I have a Windows 7 64 bit computer that I just got. The first thing I did after starting it was install Smart Suite 9.8 and also Sybase ASE version 12. Everything worked fine.

Next I ran Windows Update and let the system install 115 updates. Now Approach won't work. It just sits there not responding.

Can anyone tell me if you know which update could have caused this?
