IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8 Release Notes
If a Lotus Notes version is currently installed, the default path is the current Lotus Notes installation
path. When you install Lotus Notes single user on a system on which Lotus Notes 6.5 or 7.x is already
installed, the traditional Lotus Notes portion of the product is upgraded and installed to the same
directory in which the existing Lotus Notes install binaries currently reside, for example C:\lotus\notes.
The Lotus Notes data directory is assumed to be the directory where the existing Lotus Notes install
data files exist, for example C:\lotus\notes\data. Additional Lotus(R) Expeditor framework files are
installed to a \framework subdirectory, for example C:\lotus\notes\framework.
