You can install IBM Lotus Domino on a supported Microsoft Windows system by following this procedure, or you can perform a silent installation of a local server.

Procedure

1. Before you install the Domino server program files on a Windows system, do the following:

• Read the System Requirements Tech Note at the Lotus Support Site for operating system and network protocol requirements.
• If you are upgrading to Domino from a previous release, see the upgrade information in Domino Administrator help, the Lotus Support Site, and the Notes and Domini wiki, including Upgrade Cookbook: Upgrading to Lotus Notes and Domino.
• Temporarily disable any screen savers and turn off any virus-detection software. Make sure that all other applications are closed.
• Complete any pending reboot actions.

3. Read the Welcome screen, and click Next.

4. Read the license agreement, accept the terms, and click Next.

5. Choose the program directory, and choose whether you are installing partitioned servers. Click Next.

6. Specify the data directory in which to copy the software. If you are installing a partitioned server, specify a data directory for each partition.

Note: For partitions, use the Add button to add each of the data directories to the list. If they are not added to the list they will not be installed.
