Running the Installation Wizard
When you run the Installation Wizard, you are presented with the following installation options: Typical and Advanced.
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.
Use the Advanced installation option when the Typical option does not apply. For example:
- If you want to install the 32-bit version of P6 Professional with a 64-bit operating system.
- If you want to install both the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version of P6 Professional with a 64-bit operating system.
- If you want to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) along with P6 Professional.
- If you want to control the installation of specific P6 Professional components, such as Visualizer, the Software Development Kit (32-bit only), and the P6 Professional Database Tools.
Before You Begin
Before you run the Installation Wizard, review the following items that may impact a successful installation:
You must have full administrative rights to the computer on which you are installing P6 Professional.
- Download and extract (unzip) the software to a folder on the local hard drive, such as C:\Temp.
- Avoid downloading the software too deep within the Windows folder structure. It can limit the file name to 256 characters.
- Even though you are running P6 Professional as a standalone, a network interface card or modem must be installed and TCP/IP networking software must be running on the computer.
- Ensure the DEP (Data Execution Prevention) setting, Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select, is not enabled as it can block the creation of the database.
- Ensure anti-virus software, anti-spyware software, security software and/or any firewalls are not enabled as they may block programs, protocols, or ports necessary for database creation.
- Ensure the UAC (User Account Control) is not enabled as it may block the installation and creation of the database.
