P6 Standalone Installation

Other Key words (Project Management, Methodology Management, PM, MM, 6.0).

Before you begin, make sure your computer is running Windows XP Professional (SP2) or Windows Vista.

Also, even though you are running Primavera as a stand-alone product, a network interface card or modem must be installed and TCP/IP networking software must be running on the computer.

Note: When installing Primavera on Windows XP or Vista, you must have administrator rights to your computer. See your network administrator for more information or contact Primavera Customer Support.

Note: If you will be loading a license key file as part of this procedure, copy the file to hard disk before you begin. A license key file is required to use the software and should have been provided via e-mail or CD. It contains your company name, serial number, the product components with version number you have purchased, and the number of users allowed.

Note: When you install Primavera applications, Primavera automatically installs MDAC 2.8 (English version) if it is not present on your machine. If you are installing Primavera applications on a machine running on a non-English operating system, Primavera recommends that you install the appropriate language version of MDAC 2.8 before installing Primavera. The Primavera installer will not overwrite the existing version of MDAC 2.8. To download the correct MDAC version, go to www.microsoft.com/downloads.

Installation:

1. If you are installing from a CD, insert CD1. An introductory screen should appear that provides installation options.

2. On the main Primavera screen, choose Install Client Applications.
