Running Unattended Setup

Contents

To run unattended setup:

Note: The P6 Professional installer has changed to use 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.

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. Type cmd and click OK.

   Notes:

   • Ensure you run the command line as Administrator when UAC is on for Vista or Windows 7.
   • For Windows 64 bit users, run cmd from the SysWOW64 folder.
3. On the command line window, enter the location of the Installer folder. For example,

   cd c:\Installer

4. On the command line window, enter the following commands:
   • setup /q

     This runs setup silently and there is no indication of the installer running. This will install to the default location:

     • On 32-bit target machines, P6 Professional applications are installed in local drive\Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional.
     • On 64-bit target machines, P6 Professional applications are installed in local drive\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional.
   • For installing Visualizer only at the default location, enter the following command:

     setup /q /l*v "<LogfileLocation>" REMOVE=PM ADDLOCAL=Visualizer

   • For installing Visualizer only at a non-default location, enter the following command:

     setup /q /l*v "<LogfileLocation>" INSTALLDIR="<Programlocation>" REMOVE=PM ADDLOCAL=Visualizer

Tips:

• To specify a directory other than the default directory use the following command:

  setup.exe /q INSTALLDIR="<Programlocation>"

• To install with a log file use the following command:

  setup.exe /q/l "<LogfileLocation>" INSTALLDIR="<Programlocation>"

  <Programlocation> = The location where you want to install the application

  <LogfileLocation> = The location where you want to save the logfile

• You may save your setup command line in a batch file in the install directory and run the batch file.
• Access documentation for for command line parameters by typing msiexec /help.
