When you run the Installation Wizard, you are presented with the following installation options: Typical and Advanced.
Use the Typical installation option to install typical components.
Use the Advanced installation option when the Typical option does not apply. For example if you want to control the installation of specific P6 Professional components, such as Visualizer 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.
