Lotus SmartSuite 4 on WinOS/2

(1/7) > >>

Glenn:
Hello all,

The internet archive has a copy of Lotus SmartSuite 4 (last to run on Windows 3.1). On WinOS/2, I can start the installer, but as soon as it should start copying the files, the process goes to 100% CPU and nothing happens, not a single file gets copied.
I tried on a JFS drive, and on my C: (HPFS) after running spacehog (to remove space above 2GB temporarily). Nothing helped.

Did anyone try that successfully ?

christech:
Why not run the OS/2 version from Archive.org?

Martin Iturbide:
Hello Glenn

I tried one ISO image of "Lotus SmartSuite Release 4" for Windows 3.1 and I think I have your same behavior.
When it says I will start copying the files, it hangs and CPU rises. I used TOP to kill the process.

Here I'm using ArcaOS 5.1.0 on a VM (VirtualBox), with a JFS formatted virtual hard drive.

Regards

Glenn:

1. I got SS173 through eCS years ago, so I would not need to get the one on Archive except if losing my CD (which has happened through an act of God..) and losing my backup ISO.
2. Curiosity: I'd like to see if there were large differences in usability and functionalities. I have SS173 installed on ArcaOS and wonder how different that earlier Windows version is..

I tried one of the 4.0's at Winworld, it claimed to be a later release. Followed the instructions in the readme for WinOS2, same results as others report.
There are other releases, https://winworldpc.com/product/lotus-smartsuite/40
