Knowing your status shall provide other P6 users with some clues as to better help you. P6 is easy to use software as per vendor literature. Stand-alone installation shall be easy.



If you are having problem with P6 stand-alone installation please select the answer that best describe your status:

a-I am a hacker and my P6 copy is illegal, because of this I do not have support of P6. This is my first trial to install P6 but cannot get it done.

b-I am a hacker and my P6 copy is illegal, because of this I do not have support of P6. I could install previously P6 by trial and error and do not recall what I did, got Alzheimer’s.

c-I am a Bona-fide user of P6 but never had to install the software myself and no longer under P6 support because it is so expensive I cannot pay for it.

d-I am a Bona-fide user of P6 but never had to install the software myself and no longer under P6 support because it was so bad I no longer want P6 support.

e-I am a Bona-fide user incapable to understand how to install P6, got low IQ.

f-All of the above.



If you answered A, B or F please tell us how you got your illegal P6 copy:

b-I got it from a web search for P6 rar (rapid-share) files.

c-I got it from a web search for P6 torrent files.

Tony,

Try this and it may help.

Start-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Services

and look for SQL Server (Primavera) and check if status is started. If not double click and click start then run database configuration again.

Tony,

Are you using standalone or server (network) database?

All you need is run database configuration. If network database, the server maybe down. If standalone the SQL or Oracle server might not yet started or need to reconfigure database.

Having serious problems with P6 V7. Software was working fine yesterday when i entered my password this morning it didnt load up and took me to the database configuration page . After using the default passwords used in the original installation i am still getting an error message



"Bad public user name or password. Database Server Error: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

;"



Is it a case of uninstalling the software and reinstalling.

Thanks Arnold for your reply.



I found a detailed solution from Primavera knowledgebase when it was still accessible. Good thing I was able to locate the file..



Johnny you can email me so I can send you the PDF files for complete uninstallation and stand alone reinstallation procedures.

Hi everyone



I’m having the same problem, and the only solution I found until now is to reinstall the OS.



you said something about the registry, are the only entries to delete are about SQL Server ? or P6 as well ?



thanks !

Hi Anthony,



Prior to re-install P6 make sure that all the registry data has been manually remove from the Registry Editor at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE



As well as the other folders which ca be found in drive C:\Program Files\MSSQL & C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server.



You need to delete all these folders and try to install again. Otherwise, if you are trying to install P6 v7 standalone I would suggest to install Oracle XE database.



Regards,



Arnold
