Hi Peter,

In English version, the default shared data directory in Windows 7 is C:\ProgramData\IBM\Notes\Data\Shared

Are you using German locale in Windows or English?

Could you please provide log files IBMNotesInstall.log and IBMNotesInstallerLog.cab under "Documents" directory?

Location of shared data directory
I'm using German locale.

AFAIK the installer uses the ALLUSERSPROFILE setting.

ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData

Yes, you're right, pernames.ntf resides in C:\ProgramData\IBM\Notes\Data\Shared.

Sorry, i can't provide you the requested files.

pernames.ntf should be in shared\mui\de
The correct path of pernames.ntf should be in c:\ProgramData\IBM\Notes\Data\Shared\mui\de if Windows locale is German and Notes version is also German

But this directory is missed in the machine after installation. This will cause the failure.

  • Whole directory of "c:\ProgramData\IBM\Notes\Data\Shared\mui\de" was missing
  • "c:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Notes\mui\de" was installed correctly. (Binary language resource files)
