Thanks for the arrival (at last) of the Mac client! I have successfully installed on a MacBook (new, intel) but it fails to install on an iMac 17in (intel) with an error saying - Notes 7.02 cannot be installed on this machine. Any ideas anyone - cannot find any documentation to explain!!
Subject: Mac 7.02 fails to install - sometimes!! - update!
Successful installs now includeMacBook (the cool black one) 2 mhz with 2 meg memory
Ibook 12in with two usb ports - 800 mhz with 640 memory
- the first was an upgrade from 6.0.5 the second a new install 'cos my colleague gets the iBook as a hand me down …
Suggests memory and or speed are not issues, nor intel dual core
Unsuccessful - two 17in intel iMacs (one very recent, the other year old) both with loads of memory
- the 15in swan neck iMac
ALL machines are standardised at 10.4.8 with latest upgrades.
So two out of five install - 40% success rate

I had the same problem you’re having, and I think I’ve found a solution.
The Notes installer left the directory “/Users//Library/Application Support” belonging to root. I changed the owner of that directory and all files under it to my ID, and Notes seemed to run normally after that.
I’m running an Intel iMac 20" with 2Gb of RAM and OS X 10.4.8.
I hope this helps!

Terry that’s a clever work around - I think I’ve spotted the real issue. The installer ASSUMES that the user has admin rights - our machines are all set NOT to in order to avoid silly mistakes. Most installers ask you to AUTHENTICATE program changes/installs with a valid admin user/password. Notes 7 doesn’t, it just aborts.
That’s tacky…
Answer - either give the user admin rights for a session to do the install, or install from an admin user. Tedious, yes, but safe …

I’m running into the same problem with a Mac here in our office running OS X.3. The primary user is admin of the machine and has admin rights. I’m not that savvy about Mac security, so I’m not sure if admin rights for the user is sufficient or do I need to log in as root in order to install the 7.02 client.Any ideas?

good question, but I don’t know the answer.
Question to you - how did you get it to download ? I keep getting a “file not found on server” message from passport advantage.
Doh! somehow my download preferences were set to the Ireland site instead of US 1 or 2.

I hope 7.02 will soon be available for download in the Lotus/Downloads area of this site.Notes Win is… and the live of so many Mac home users with no one a their company ready to distribute the Mac client would be just great…
Come on, it’s Chrismass time after all
