Installing the Lotus Notes 7 software with Upgrade-by-mail
The upgrade notification includes two buttons. The Install Notes button runs the Notes client installation program. The following procedure is intended for Notes client users.

1. Click the Install Notes button.

2. Follow the prompts on the Setup screens to properly install the software.

3. Launch Notes.

Notes sets up and upgrades the software automatically if you install Lotus Notes 7 in the same directory as the previous release of Lotus Notes. If you install the Lotus Notes 7 software in a different directory, Lotus Notes prompts you to complete the configuration process. If you install Lotus Notes in a different directory, be aware that the Setup program places the NOTES.INI file in the Notes program directory.

Note Lotus Notes automatically upgrades the Personal Address Book to the Notes/Domino 7 design. If you have Internet mail set up to work with POP3, Lotus Notes creates an Account record for that Internet mail configuration.

For more information, see the topic Creating Account records for Internet mail.
