maybe a work around
If you still have some problems, please
feel free to contact me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
edit 90.reg, change "Path"
to your Notes directory, then import reg to registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version
5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes\8.0]
"DataPath"=""
"Description"="IBM
Notes"
"Name"="IBM
Notes.exe"
"Path"="C:\\Program
Files\\IBM\\Notes\\"
"Version"="080000"
"ShortcutCreation"="false"
"MultiUser"=dword:00000001
if still not work, see details below:
work around here:
1, (optional)uninstall NotesSQL 853(In
my computer(winxp 32bit), uninstall is not necessary.)
2, install Notes90 if needed.
3, run "regedit", find key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes\9.0]
or [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lotus\Notes]
(Notes90 on Win7 64bit)
4, export all keys in this directory
to 90.reg, see below.
5, edit 90.reg, change [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes\9.0]
to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes\8.0],
and change "Version"="090000"
to "Version"="080503".
6, import 90.reg.
7, after import, you will see [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes\8.0]
added.
8, (optional)install NotesSQL853.
tips:
1, after install Notes90/Domino90, configure
it first, and make sure notes.ini being created.
2, if still come across errors, please
uninstall NotesSQL and install again.
3, not sure if add registry keys had
some impact on other software, so if any other error, delete them.
