(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi everibody,
Has someone try to install P6 on a MacBook Pro using Crossover? Currently I use Crossover to run MS Project, MS Visio and other tools which ohas no Mac versions.
I really appreciate your advice. Sebastian, Emily, D'Artagnan, any valuable tip?
Regards,
Carlos Silva
I'm one of the original developers of the Primavera Project Manager suite. I still do quite a bit of Primavera integration consulting, and I use VirtualBox all the time as a virtualization platform from which to do development testing (so that I can easily spin up new clones of different versions of the Primavera environment). VirtualBox on my OSX box has worked flawlessly for me. It's free, so you can't beat the price, and gives me 100% compatibility with all of Primavera's features.

Hi Guys,
Here's a link explaining the options to run Primavera P6 on a Mac i.e. using Boot Camp and Virtual Machines. It also shows a screen shot of a MacBook Pro running Primavera P6 R8.2 http://bit.ly/zIVM4X
I hope this helps,
Emily
I have in the past formatted the hard drive on a macbook pro and installed windows 7 on it only. P6 runs fine as you would expect.
Currently I use Parallels, very simple to set up. Install Parallels on the MacBook pro running OSX...... next install a copy of windows 7 and then P6. Great thing about Parallels is that it allows you to run in what they call 'coherence' mode, this allows you to launch P6 without rebooting into windows 7 straight from the mac environment.
Simply great!
