Install Lotus Notes under Wine.

Update Wine, preferably to 1.1.5, else, if you must, 1.0.0

Hello wineHQ Forum!

Im trying the same: Using Wine to invoke an existing Lotus installation on NTFS partition.

Wine does start the application.

However Notes dialogs not finding a data directory:

C:\something

as defined in preference file

Z:\NTFSDrive\Programs\lotus\notes\preferences.ini.

How can I communication those directories to Notes through wine?

Regards,

Felix.

You can't do that. Install it properly on Wine.
