Silent HCL Notes 32 bit to 64 bit upgrade changes

HCL have recently published one of the “gotchas” around upgrading from 32 bit to 64 bit Notes.

I came across this again and thought it worth sharing. When upgrading Notes 32 bit to 64 bit via command line/scripting/third party install tool (basically anywhere you’re running silently) the syntax for PROGDIR and DATADIR changes to PROGDIRW64 and DATADIRW64.

Technote here explains all.

Notes 14 is 64 bit only so it’s the type of thing everyone should be becoming familiar.
