Install Dojo 1.1.1 on Domino 7.0.2

Today, we will install Dojo 1.1.1 on a Domino server. As I've said in my last post, I'm currently using Release 7.0.2, but you can also use Release 6 and 8.
First, download Dojo 1.1.1 from Dojo's website. You will get a compressed file named "dojo-release-1.1.1.tar.gz".
To open this gz file, you will need a compression program, like 7-Zip.
After opening the gz file, you will see that it contains yet another compressed file named "dojo-release-1.1.1.tar". So extract this tar file somewhere, then open it again with 7-Zip.
After opening the tar file, you will see that in contains a folder named "dojo-release-1.1.1".
Extract this folder somewhere, and rename the extracted folder to "dojo-1.1.1".
In my previous post, there's a link to the Domino 8.5 forum that states that Dojo is found on folder "domino\data\domino\js\dojo-1.1.1".
Go to your Domino server, and open the directory where Domino is installed. You will notice that there is no "domino\data\domino\js" folder. Instead, there is the folder "domino\data\domino\html". So move the extracted/renamed folder to this folder.
You will now have a folder "domino\data\domino\html\dojo-1.1.1".
That's it! Dojo 1.1.1 is now installed on your Domino server!
You may now delete the temporary folders/files you used.

Why not use Dojo1.2?

I did not use Dojo 1.2 because the next version of Domino 8.5 will use Dojo 1.1.1. So when we upgrade to Domino 8.5, if we used Dojo 1.2, then it might not work.
