installing lotus notes 7.03

We currently have an installed base of Lotus notes 5, and have upgraded
the domino server to 7.03. Now, I would like to deploy the Notes 7.03
client.

The notes 5 client is installed in c:\lotus\notes, because that was
easiest for allowing permissions to the data directory. Now it seems
that the Notes 7 client can be configured for multiple users (which is a
feature I would like to use). This installs the client's program files
in C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes and the data files in the user's profile
directory.

I have seen suggestions that you can install the client (still for
multiple users) in C:\lotus\notes instead of
C:\Program Files\lotus\notes. Aside from the fact that it would UPGRADE
the existing Notes 5 client, is there any reason WHY I would want to put
the client there instead of the Program Files directory? I don't care
about the user's existing configuration (and neither do they). It seems
to me that the Program Files directory would be the more correct place
to put it.

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

hi!

Do you know, that you can install user data dir to user's network home
path and set notes.ini path after notes.exe like:
notes.exe =h:\userdata\notes.ini
After all user who logged in, can run notes with own data dir?
It's like multiple user but the network login choose user, not ln
client. And it's work with notes 5 too.
