Running Unattended Setup

Note: The P6 Professional installer uses the Oracle Universal Installer, which does not use a response file. Instead, save your setup command line in a batch file in the install directory and execute the batch file for silent installs.

Complete the following steps to run unattended setup:

1. Copy the contents of the files in the Client_Applications folder to a local folder.

   Oracle recommends creating a new folder, such as 'Installer.' Do not include spaces in the folder name.

2. Open a command line by choosing Start, Run. Enter cmd and click OK.
3. On the command line window, go to location of the Installer folder. For example,

   cd c:\Installer

4. On the command line window, enter the following command:

   setup /q

   Note: This command silently runs a Typical Installation, which installs P6 Professional and Visualizer to the default location (<local drive>\Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional). The 64-bit versions are installed on 64-bit computer and the 32-bit versions are installed on 32-bit computer.

Tips

• PM and Visualizer components will be installed by default if you do not use REMOVE parameter.
• Component names are case-sensitive.
• If you do not specify the INSTALLDIR property, the default location is used. The default location for 64-bit is <local drive>\Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional and the default location for 32-bit is <local drive>\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional.
• To create a verbose installer log file, add the /L*V parameter. For example:

  setup.exe /package /q ADDLOCAL=msi_p6pro_64;PM /log "<LogFileLocation>" REMOVE=msi_p6pro_32,msi_p6pro_64;Visualizer msi_p6pro_64_INSTALLDIR=C:\Temp

  where <LogFileLocation> is the folder where you want to save the log file.

• You can save your setup command line in a batch file in the install directory and run the batch file.
• Enter setup.exe /help to access documentation for command-line parameters.
• The SDK is compatible with 32-bit installations only.
• P6 Professional Job Service is only compatible with 64-bit installations. Jobs can be submitted to P6 Job Service for both 32-bit and 64-bit clients.
• If you installed the P6 Professional SDK, you must add the P6 Professional SDK installation location to the Path system variable. See Updating the Path System Variable for the P6 Professional SDK for details.
