Installing Sametime Connect on 64bit Windows 7

Category Technical Lotus
Use setup.exe not setup.msi

Ok gang, here's a quick tip that should save you loads of time. When installing IBM Lotus Sametime Connect on 64bit Windows 7, make sure you launch the correct installer. If your instincts tell you to launch setup.msi, they are lying to you. Don't waste your time. Directly launching setup.msi on 64bit Windows 7 will cause the installer to fail (telling you it was interrupted) halfway through the installation. Use setup.exe instead. Yes, setup.exe will eventually call setup.msi -but it will do so without failing and your installation will succeed.

Trust me, I've been down this road several times.
