If I had installed the P6  software in my computer , and because my computer’s OS is the WIN 7 64bit, and I install the P3 software in the same computer , but it is in the virtual XP mode.

So I want the P3 files can import to P6 .

How can I dot? Because when I open the P6 software and want to import P3 files , it can’t . the import from P3 item is gray color that I can’t choice.

If I uninstall the P6 , then reinstall P6 in my computer is OK?

Another I had find some discuss about it that if I first install P6 , I can do below step:

1 Open a command prompt.

2 Change your directory to the location of the “ra32.dll” file. By default,

the path is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Primavera Common\Ra.

3 Execute the following command: regsvr32 ra32.dll

 

But I had try it , it the same result and can’t do it .

I find my P6 install filename is c:\oracle\primavera p6\ .

The path not C:\Program Files\Common Files\Primavera Common\Ra.

So I don’t understand what part I do wrong.

Lin,

P6  cannot  ‘see’ P3 in the virtual environment and thus does not know that it is there.  In situations such as this, Primavera recommends that you run their P3 export conversion program to change your PRX to a XER file.  Then you can import the XER file.  There is a second program for converting the other direction.

One program is called XERP330Convert.exe and the other program is called P330XERConver.exe.  They are zipped together in a folder called P3Converter.zip.  You can download the conversion programs from Oracle Support.  Good luck!
