WARNING: Lotus Smartsuite  is not yet "supported" by IBM but a support statement will be presented in the near future
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21624779

As with other installs of Lotus software, I began the install by right-clicking the setup.exe file and selecting "run as administrator."

Install begins with an error message stating a known compatibility issue with Approach 9.x

Microsoft's online help document:

After this, the installation proceeds:

Requesting the Install location

Add caption

request for feature selection (defaults to install everything)

Choosing install options

Lotus advertisement displays during install

Reboot to finish installation. This was interesting because a reboot is not required for the installation of versions 9.8.x.

Installation of extra third-party apps (all unsuccessful--too old perhaps?). My computer would not accept any of these options and the installation would crash at this point

Register SmartSuite 9.5

Registration form for SS 9.5. Eventually falters because the IBM registration site does not appear to exist anymore
