I tried to install Primavera P6. After succesful installation, I am having problem with configuring MS SQL database (Microsoft SQL server 2005 or SQL 2005 Express that came with the installation CD.

When I try to configure the database, I get the following error:

"Bad public user name or password. Database Server Error: Login failed for user ’pubuser’

Can anyone advice me or help me in configuring the SQL server 2005 database with P6

    Hi Daniel,

    Try the following steps:

    1. If you have already installed your P6 in you computer uninstall everything including the MSQL 2005 Express from your Control Panel.
    2. After uninstalling, COPY the "MSSQL$PRIMAVERA" from other computer and PASTE it to "Microsoft SQL Server" folder which you can find in "C:\Program Files". Do not delete this folder during uninstallation of P6.0 In the same folder, you can find also "80 & 90" folders plus the one you paste "MSSQL$PRIMAVERA".
    3. Now, install again P6.0 to your computer. Just follow the installation wizard.

    You can also download "How to Install P6 Standalone Version.doc" from this site:

    Let me know if it is successful. I have done these steps many times and it is okey.

    HTH.

    When you finished the installation,
    DON’T configure the databases, PM and MM.
    CANCEL both, then RESTART.
    That’s it!
