Hi,
I noticed that I cannot install P5 in Windows Vista Home Premium. I tried it but during the database configuration it is failing. Now, I will be receiving soon an upgrade to P6 from Primavera (discs will come soon). Question is, can you upgrade to P6 in Vista eventhough you failed to install beforehand P5 on it?

In my understanding, if you want to "upgrade" something the previous version (P5) should be installed first on the computer. But how to do since P5 failed to install intially in the computer running on Vista?? So if you want to upgrade to P6, the system will say you don’t have P5 installed on the current PC!

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Not really, Primavera is not producing a special upgrade package which can be installed only if you have installed previous version. As long as you have valid license file, you can install it directly from the scratch. For installation problems, you can find plenty discussions in PrimaveraTools.com
