If, when you click on the icon for your Edition 32 NotesTools, nothing happens or you get an error message, please check your Windows PATH environment variable.
When the IBM Notes Client launches it captures and retains in resident memory the System and User PATH Variables form the operating system. The IBM Notes Client can only retain a certain amount of these PATH variables in memory. When it reaches the maximum amount of values it truncates the remainder in order to make room for its own variables.
When the Teamstudio Notes Tools are installed we add a value to the System PATH variable so that any application that needs to launch our applications can locate them correctly. If the Teamstudio Notes Tools are closer to the end of the System PATH variable, the IBM Notes client will truncate our entry.
In order to ensure that the Teamstudio Notes Tools load correctly from the Toolbar you will need to ensure that the System PATH variable that we add is closer to the beginning of the available variables.
To check your current system path variables follow these steps:
...
