Get the domino 6.5.5 for windows client.exe

Emerge wine (version I used is wine-20050930)
run "wine" once as a normal user.

Get winetools (version I used is wt0.9jo) at http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/index.html#download
tar -xzvf winetools-0.9jo-III.tar.gz
cd winteools-0.9jo-III
./install as root
run "wt" (winetools) as a normal user.

In winetools:

install fake drive
DCOM98
Microsoft Foundation Classes 4.x
windows installer
IE6 (if you wish)

Then make a backup of .wine directory with wt.
Next exit wt.

Then run "wine client.exe" then do a normal lotus notes install. I picked the defaults.

Then when install is done. run "wine /home/jimb0/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/lotus/notes/nlnotes.exe" and configure lotus for the first time.

Have your user.id file. Make sure to put it in the 'wine world' (if outside it, it could crash the lotus client) in the drive_c directory or lotus/notes/data directory.

I have done 2 different installs on different gentoo machines and works very well. I use it for work email at CSC.

Many thanks jimb0, this is by far the best Lotus installation guide I have found so far. I tried to install 6.5 and 7.0 so far - both installed correctly and I was able to configure them. 7.0 then died with stack overflow and 6.5 died with some error that LoadLibrary returned null. Where can I get the 6.5.5 version (our company owns only 6.5 and 7.0)?

OK, I installed IE6, now Notes7.0 fails with this:
Code:

err:win:DefWindowProcA called for other process window 0x10020
Process ID 8 has been reused, application may require restarting if OSLoadProgram was not used (41728)
err:win:DefWindowProcA called for other process window 0x10020
err:win:DefWindowProcA called for other process window 0x10020


ERROR (0): NetUserEnum failed: err=5 - (131) Negative seek
ERROR (0): no active processes found for this instance
ERROR (0): No notes processes seem to be running

I have wine 0.9.6

Finally! Tried Lotus Notes 6.5.3 and it is working. My configuration: no IE6 installed, wine 0.9.6.

Nice howto.

I want to add the for me the windows installer didn't want to install through winetools.
The error I got was:
Code:

wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\Installer\\InstMsi4\\msiexec.exe" as Win32 binary


There is a simple workaround for this however.
Install windows installer manually ;-)

place de exe in ~/.wine/drive_c/temp and issue the following command:
Code:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES='msiexec.exe=n' wine "C://temp/InstMsiA.exe"


Just in case someone else is experiencing the same problem...
