Typical Installation

Use the Typical installation option to install the version of P6 Professional appropriate to your operating system. If you are running a 32-bit operating system, the Typical option installs the 32-bit version of P6 Professional; if you are running a 64-bit operating system, the Typical option installs the 64-bit version of P6 Professional. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is not installed with this option.

To install P6 Professional with the Typical option:

1. Download and extract the media zip file locally to the client computer.
2. In the extracted media zip file, in the Client_Applications folder, double-click setup.exe to launch the installation wizard.

   Note: Microsoft .NET Framework, Windows Installer, and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) are required to run P6 Professional. If they are not installed, follow the prompts to install them and then restart your computer as needed. Allow setup.exe to run when your computer restarts and follow the prompts to complete installation of the required components.

3. Select the Typical option.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Install.

   When P6 Professional is installed, the Next Steps window appears.

6. Click OK to automatically run Database Configuration immediately after installation. See Running Database Configuration After Installation for details.

   Note: You do not need to run Database Configuration immediately after installation, however you do need to run it before you can use P6 Professional. You can run Database Configuration manually at any time. See Running Database Configuration Manually for details.
