Running Unattended Setup
Complete the following steps to run unattended setup:
- 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.
- Open a command line by choosing Start, Run. Enter
cmd
and click OK. - On the command line window, go to location of the Installer folder. For example,
cd c:\Installer
- On the command line window, enter the following command:
P6ProfessionalSetup /q
Note: This command silently runs a Typical Installation, which installs P6 Professional and Visualizer to the default location (<local drive>\Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional).

Tips
- PM and Visualizer components will be installed by default if you do not use the REMOVE parameter.
- Component names are case-sensitive.
- If you do not specify the INSTALLDIR property, the default location is used. The default location is <local drive>\Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\P6 Professional.
- To create a installer log file, add the /log parameter. For example:
P6ProfessionalSetup.exe /package /q ADDLOCAL=msi_p6pro_64;PM REMOVE=msi_p6pro_64;Visualizer msi_p6pro_64_INSTALLDIR=C:\Temp
/log "<LogFileLocation>/install.log"
where
<LogFileLocation>
is the folder where you want to save the log file. - You can save your setup command line in a batch file in the install directory and run the batch file.
- Enter P6ProfessionalSetup
.exe /help
to access documentation for command-line parameters. - To keep existing installations and install an additional version alongside the existing version, use the command line argument RELATED_BUNDLE_ACTION=PRESERVE. If the RELATED_BUNDLE_ACTION command line argument is missing or set to a different value from PRESERVE, existing installations will be removed.
