Can Anyone Help Me Please!...Emergency

I attempted to install Notes 7 to my desktop pc when my organization uses Notes 6. I used instructions I located in this forum on how to install Notes 6 & 7 to co-exist. However, I decided to remove Notes 7 and did so before renaming my Notes 6 directory. Therefore, the un-install removed Notes 6 instead of Notes 7. From what I understand the trial version of Notes 7 is only for 90 days. However, I don’t know how to get Notes 6 back on to my pc without having to contact Tech Support. I do not want to contact Tech Support because I know they’ll give me grief for doing this. Can anyone tell me how to get Notes 6 back onto my machine? I tried going to my bosses’ pc and copying his Notes.exe file thinking I could someone re-install Notes 6, however, that didn’t work either. For all you Notes gurus’ I know I sound like the typical crazed end-user but I need help. I would really like to get Notes 6 back onto my system without Tech Support making a big deal that I was checking out the trial version of 7 on my pc.

In trouble in Oklahoma…

Despite my respect for you, two remarks :

  • EMERGENCY means someone will die

  • you’ve done a silly thing, you should expect grief

sorry…

Hi,

Pretty difficult without all the R6 files because it’s different piece of software (Files, registry, etc).

I think you will have to contact your Tech support. If someone finds the answer, i will be very surprise.

Hi there,

If you still have the lotus directory on your pc in ‘program files’ rename it to OLD_LOTUS.

Then download the trial version of 6 and install it. That will copy in all of the files you need and set the registry values you want.

Now delete the Lotus sub-folder created by the install. Go back to your Bosses PC and copy his lotus sub-folder to your PC.

Delete his ID file from your PC and copy in these files from your OLD_LOTUS folder:

Your ID File

names.nsf

bookmarks.nsf

desktop.dsk

This should get you up and running.
