Hello,

I'm assuming wordpro.exe does actually work in Windows.

I doubt these apps run on more recent Windows versions out of the box.
If you search IBM forums for Lotus Smartsuite running on Windows 7 you get
complaints.
They say for Windows Vista and above you have to install and run these apps in
"Windows XP compatibility" mode.

That means application shims are applied that alter operating system behaviour
(loader, etc.) to allow undocumented stuff/hacks that worked in earlier Windows
versions.

Regards
