Hi,

when I try to enter:

C:\Lotus\Notes\nsd.exe -kill -ini C:\Lotus\Notes\notes.ini

in a dosbox

I got the errormsg from nsd:

FATAL (1): can’t open notes.ini

but the ini file is ok, the client is correctly adjusted.

Can anybody help?

Does nsd -kill work without the -ini parameter? That would be C:\Lotus\Notes\nsd.exe -kill

run from the C:\Lotus\Notes\Data directory.

Hi bob,

sorry I can´t run NSD.exe from the Datafolder, because its not in it… I got the message “nsd.exe can´t be found…”

and I can´t run it without the ini parameter, I got the same error…

Yes, you can still run nsd.exe, you just have to type the fully-qualified path, which in your case I believe was C:\Lotus\Notes\NSD.EXEYou can also add the Notes executable directory to the PATH on that system.
