Advanced Installation

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.
Note: If you are using the 32-bit version of Microsoft Office and intend to use Excel Import/Export with P6 Professional, you must install the 32-bit version of P6 Professional.

To install P6 Professional Standalone with the Advanced option:

Download and extract the media zip file locally to the client computer.
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.
Select the Advanced option.
Click OK.
Select the options to be installed.
Click Next.
Click Install.
Click OK to automatically run Database Configuration immediately after installation. See Running Database Configuration After Installation for details.
Notes:
- 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.
- 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.
