P6 Reinstallation Problems

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

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 !

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.

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.

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.

Rodel,

its a stand alone machine

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.

thanks
