Running Domino 9 on Windows 7 64-bit

Hello, all. I am trying to run Domino 9 (64-bit) on a Windows 7 system. I realize that Windows 7 is not a supported platform for the Social Edition server, but this is the platform I have for my development server. I have read hints that there are some considerations, so any tips/tricks/hints that you can provide would be welcome.

 

Thanks!

Don't install in default "Program Files" directory
A couple things to note:

 - To avoid problems with Windows security (not allowing write to system directories), I would recommend not installing the server in the default "c:\Program Files\IBM\Domino" directory.  For example, if you install in the "C:\IBM\Domino" directory instead, then you wont have any problems editing config files such as notes.ini etc.

 - Also, if you want to see and have access to the server console window, then you must choose to start the server as an application (rather than a service). Of course you can always use the remote console in Administrator or the Java Domino console too.
