IBM states that Lotus SmartSuite and hence Lotus Approach will not install and work on 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, this is only half true, the use of 16-bit installer code means that the installer and some auxiliary programs supplied with the Lotus/IBM SmartSuite will not install or run.Microsoft Windows XP and later versions nag if you try to install Approach on the system or a version of Lotus Smartsuite that contains Approach, claiming that it is not compatible with the system, this is true of SmartSuite 96, SmartSuite 97, SmartSuite Millennium and early versions of Smartsuite 98, however later versions of SmartSuite 98 will work just fine on any 32 and 64 bit Windows operating system.This is also believed to affect other SmartSuite 1.6x and 1.7x for OS/2 versions.
