Installing Domino® on Windows™

  • If you are upgrading to Domino® from a previous release, see the upgrade information in Domino® Administrator help, the IBM® Support Site, including Upgrade Central: Planning your upgrade to Notes and Domino 9.0.
  • Temporarily disable any screen savers and turn off any virus-detection software. Make sure that all other applications are closed.
