Install Notes 8.02 client on Win 7 desktop (64 bit)

My computer was rebuilt to Win 7 (64 bit). I had copied the Lotus directory to the new drive and ran the R8.0.2 install program. When it did not configure properly, I uninstalled and then reinstalled Notes. I get a repeatable error when I first click on the Notes icon. Get the splash screen and it prompts to select a location. Then I get an error message, “An error was encountered while opening a window”, rather than the configure wizard. Even tried uninstalling, then leaving just the Data directory and then installing - same results.

Any suggestions, as uninstall/reinstall yields the same results.

Is Notes 8.0.2 compatible with Win 7 64 bit or is the registry corrupt?
