Note If a Notes version is currently installed, the default path is the current Notes installation path. When you install Notes single user on a system on which Notes 6.5 or 7.x is already installed, the traditional Notes portion of the product is upgraded and installed to the same directory in which the existing Notes install binaries currently reside, for example C:\Lotus\Notes. The Notes data directory is assumed to be the directory where the existing Notes install data files exist, for example C:\Lotus\Notes\data. Additional IBM® Lotus® Expeditor framework files are installed to a \framework subdirectory, for example C:\Lotus\Notes\framework.

The default and suggested Windows Vista™ and Windows XP single user directories for Notes install are as below:

• C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes -- Notes product and binary files installation directory
• C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\data -- Notes single user data files installation directory
• C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\data\workspace -- Notes single user workspace directory
• C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Note\framework -- Recommended Notes Java code installation directory

• C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes -- Notes multi-user default binary files installation directory
• C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Lotus\Notes\data -- Notes data files installation directory for each user
• C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Lotus\Notes\Data\workspace -- Notes workspace directory for each user
• C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\framework -- Notes Java™ code installation directory
• C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Local Settings\Application Data\Lotus\Notes\Data -- Shared data directory

• C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes -- Notes multi-user default binary files installation directory
• C:\ProgramData\Lotus\Notes\data -- Notes multi-user shared resources and templates installation directory
• C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Lotus\Notes\data -- Notes multi-user default data installation directory
• C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Lotus\Notes\data\workspace -- Notes multi-user workspace directory for each user
• C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\framework -- Notes Java code installation directory

• Notes product and binary files installation directory -- Directory where the existing Notes install binaries exist, for example C:\Lotus\Notes
• Notes data files installation directory -- Directory where the existing Notes data files exist, for example C:\Lotus\Notes\data
• Notes Java code installation directory -- Subdirectory \framework of the Notes installation directory, for example C:\Lotus\Notes\framework
• /{$HOME}/lotus/notes/data/workspace -- Notes workspace directory for each user
