Hello everyone,
i think it is possible to just copy your Notes folder to a PC and then work with it.
I think IBM even advertises that you can carry your Notes Client on a USB-device.
My problem is, that the COM / OLE components of Notes arent available this way.
Can someone tell me, what needs to be registered in order to have such a small thing like
CreateObject “Notes.NotesSession” ?
Or how should i handle these “installations”?
Regards from Germany,
Sven

ala
regsvr32 “C:\Lotus\Notes\nlsxbe.dll”
You must of course need to change the path to whatever you have (your USB drive…). Check out the Nomad documentation on how to modify the autorun.ini with parameters for the changable USB drive letters for example.
I would also check whether you already have an registration, and you’d probably have to save that somehow, so you can restore the original when your USB stick is removed, and Lotus Notes on-a-stick deinstalls.

Hi Robert,
sadly this command only registers “Lotus.NotesSession” in my registry under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
I need to have OLE Automation for the domino classes (which start with Notes.NotesSession afaik).
Maybe you have any more tips?
Thanks anyway,
Sven

Subject: Notes OLE Components without installation
Hi Sven-If you install Notes (1st time install) you could see what changes are made in the registry by comparing the registry before/after the install. You may find what you’re looking for with an uninstall/reinstall.
There are several tools to assist this, though I’ve done this with notepad years ago (Win95/98).
Google for InCtrl4 (or InCtrl5) this is a utility from PCMagazine.
