Before you begin, make sure your computer is running Windows XP Professional (SP2) or Windows
Vista.
Also, even though you are running Primavera as a stand-alone product, a network interface card or
modem must be installed and TCP/IP networking software must be running on the computer.
Note: When installing Primavera on Windows XP or Vista, you must have administrator rights to
your computer. See your network administrator for more information or contact Primavera
Customer Support.
Note: If you will be loading a license key file as part of this procedure, copy the file to hard disk
before you begin. A license key file is required to use the software and should have been provided
via e-mail or CD. It contains your company name, serial number, the product components with
version number you have purchased, and the number of users allowed.
Note: When you install Primavera applications, Primavera automatically installs MDAC 2.8 (English
version) if it is not present on your machine. If you are installing Primavera applications on a
machine running on a non-English operating system, Primavera recommends that you install the
appropriate language version of MDAC 2.8 before installing Primavera. The Primavera installer will
not overwrite the existing version of MDAC 2.8. To download the correct MDAC version, go to
www.microsoft.com/downloads.
