Primavera P6 Installation Instructions

For Windows 10 Users



IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THEM EXACTLY.

The following is provided for your convenience only. Ten Six Consulting do not offer technical support for the installation process of P6 Professional. If you are experiencing difficulties downloading or installing Primavera P6 Professional evaluation software, please contact Oracle.

Prerequisites: you have already downloaded the Primavera P6 Professional installation media zip file from the Oracle e-delivery cloud at:

https://edelivery.oracle.com/



Installing Primavera P6 Professional or later

The name of the V971400-01.zip media delivery file will be a different number with each release of Primavera P6 Professional. These instructions were written using the example zip file V971400-01.zip, however the principles are identical for later versions.

Unzip your zip file to your Downloads or other convenient folder on the computer. The installation media image will create the following folder structure:

C:\Downloads\P6_Pro_R(version number)

HOW TO: Unzip the Zip File:

1. Locate the Vxxxxxx-01.zip file using the Windows file Explorer.

2. Click on the Extract tab.



3. Click the Extract All tab to extract the Primavera P6 Professional installation files.

4. In the Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders dialog, select a destination path.

5. Click Extract.

6. You will see the files being extracted.



7. The P6 installation files will be in a folder named P6_Pro_Rxxxx. For example, if you chose to extract it to your downloads directory it would be located in a folder similar to the following: C:\Users\xxxxxx\Downloads\Vxxxxxx-01

Dive into the P6_Pro_Rxxxx folder and extract the P6ProfessionalSetup Zip file.



You have now unzipped the Primavera P6 Professional installation files and can proceed to the next steps that show you how to install the program.

IMPORTANT: Read the following instructions carefully and follow them EXACTLY. If you deviate from these instructions the installation may not work. These are provided for your convenience only. Ten Six Consulting do not offer technical support for Primavera P6 Installations.

HOW TO: Install Primavera P6 Professional on your Windows 10 Computer

1. Using your Windows file explorer, locate the P6ProfessionalSetup.exe file in the P6_Pro_Rxxxx folder and right-click on it.



2. Select the Open option from the menu. You can also double-click to start the installer.

3. In the Welcome to P6 Professional dialog, go with the default Typical installation option and click OK.

4. In the Ready To Install Primavera P6 Professional dialog, click Install.



5. Depending on your UAC (User Account Control) setting, you may be prompted to allow the program to make changes to your system. Click Yes to allow.

Note: to find the UAC settings in Windows 10, do a search in the Settings dialog for UAC. The installer may also prompt you to install certain prerequisite programs on your machine. These include Java, the DHTML Editing Component and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (x86 and x64). If prompted, allow the installer to proceed with these installations.



Possible Prerequisites

You may be prompted to install certain prerequisite applications if they are not already on your machine or are out of date.

6. If you do not already have Java on your machine, you may be prompted to install it. Click Install.

7. When the Java installation is completed, click close.



8. After any necessary prerequisites are installed, the Primavera P6 client installation will start.

9. Once the install of the client is complete, the following database options dialog appears.

10. Select the Run Database Configuration option (typically this is the default).

11. Click OK.



12. In the Database Configuration dialog set the Driver Type to the P6 Pro Standalone (SQLite) option.

13. Toggle to Add a new standalone database and connection then enter ‘P6 Training’ as the Database Alias.



14. Click Next.

15. In the resulting dialog, enter and confirm a password for your system. This will be the password you use to login to P6. Click Next.



VERY IMPORTANT: Be sure to make a careful note of this password. It will be used for all the database passwords and the P6 administrative user once you login. Write it down on the following line:

My P6 Admin Password is:_______________________________________

16. In the next Database Configuration dialog, you will need to confirm the location of the SQLite database and make sure you also check the Load Sample Data option. Click the Save button.



17. Click the Test button to check the P6 installation.



Primavera P6 Professional is now loaded on your computer along with the SQLite database and sample data. Some of the prerequisites installed may cause the installer to prompt you that a restart of the computer is required. If so, click ‘Yes’ to restart your machine.

Getting Started with P6

Primavera P6 Professional can now be started from the Start menu’s All apps option.



We also recommend that you Right-click on the P6 Professional menu item and Pin it to your Start menu or Taskbar. This will make the program easier to access in the future.

Now run the application to be sure the installation has worked correctly. To do so click on the P6 Professional menu item in the Start menu or Taskbar.

When prompted, enter the admin password you specified during installation.

Upon the first login, you will be prompted to set the appropriate industry for your organization. You will need to make this change in the Admin Preferences area of P6 Professional as shown in the following figures.



In the ‘Admin Preferences’ dialog, click on the Industry tab and select ‘Engineering and Construction’ industry sector option. Note after the training is complete you can change the Industry selection to your preferred industry.

This will determine the terminology and default settings P6 uses for subsequent sessions.

Training Note: If you are participating in a Ten Six Primavera P6 Professional online or on-site training class, please select the ‘Engineering and Construction’ option.



The final step in installing P6 is to make a backup copy of your PPMDBSQLite data base file.

Copy and paste the PPMDBSQLite file in the documents folder and rename it PPMDBSQLite_Backup.

Now when you complete the P6 Fundamentals course and want to return the P6 Professional software settings to just prior to the training 1) copy PPMDBSQLite to PPMDBSQLite_Old and 2) finally, copy PPMDBSQLite_Backup to PPMDBSQLite, and the state of P6 will be back to its factory settings.
