P3 Installation for Windows 7 (64bit)

Mohammed,
easy to answer your question: P3 will NOT install nor run on a 64bits machine
it should work on Windows 7 64bits XPmode, but hardly.

Mohamad,

Try this and it may work. I haven’t try this to Window 7 (64bit) but work fine on window vista (64bit).

Install P3, additionally, you must complete the steps below to register a required DLL file.
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

Good Luck

P3 will not install or run on Win 7 64bit whether you are using compatibility mode or not. Do not waste your time... it won’t install no matter what you do. The only solution is to dual boot with win xp

Hi,

I’m new to Planning Planet and Primavera 3.

I had this same problem and was considering buying an old laptop with XP as couln’t see a way of running P3 on win 7 64bit.

SureTrak installs ok in compatibility mode which is great, P3 doesn’t.

There is a solution!!

Win 7 has a Virtual Win XP software. I have Win 7 Home edition which this is not meant to work on. There is a work around solution to this:

When you have installed the virtual XP it runs XP in a window like there is another computer there. P3 installs perfectly with this.

I havn’t tried experimenting further too much as only discovered this solution last week.

Hope this helps,

David

Thanks a lot David..
BTW, I’m already switch to P6.
Bye2 P3..
