Install Lotus Quickr connector on 64-bit OS
Seeing it was impossible to install the Lotus Quickr connector on Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit I finally located a work around on the IBM support forums, and have decided to share it with all of you!
1. Download the Lotus Quickr connector from your Lotus Quickr site
2. Execute the file — be sure not to click on OK when the error pops up. (Another option is to extract the MSI from the EXE file)
3. Browse to the following folder Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp and copy the file qkrconn.msi to another location.
4. Download and install Orca from here. This application allows you to modify MSI files.
5. Edit the qkrconn.msi with Orca and scroll down to the LaunchCondition table located on the left.
6. Delete the condition “(Not Intel64) And (Not VersionNT64) And (Not Msix64)” by right clicking it then selecting Drop Row.
7. Save, exit and run the MSI!
Enjoy!

I got an error when I tried to run the modified qkrconn.msi. It says Error 2229.Database. Can not load “LaunchCondition” table in SQL query.
(I translate it this way from my Spanish OS version)
I’m using Windows 7 – 64 bits – Spanish
