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.

At last, I have made it! The problem is definitely the size of the HD - I suspect that 1T is the trigger threshold at which Lotus won't install in the usual way.....but have taken 800GB as the size to shrink to.
Go to 'Start/administrative tools/computer management/storage/disk management'....then right click the unacceptably large C: drive and follow intructions to 'Shrink Volume...'. Copy over the files from the SmartSuite CD to the HD (I used a sub directory 'Lotus files' in the 'Downloads' directory) and invoke 'install.exe'. Should be plain sailing thereafter.
A great relief to have my considerable number of legacy files back again! Thanks to all who have worked on this.

2015-03-27T20:50:38+00:00 I had this issue... and installed the program from the hardrive rather than the disk, put a blank dvd in the drive and formatted it to act like a thumb/storage drive ( to trick it into thinking there was the available memory there that is was asking for...) and it finally worked....
