This is a known issue cause by a Microsoft security patch for the following discontinued releases:

• Contractor 4.1


• Project Management version 3.5.1


• Project Management version 4.0


• Project Management version 4.1

Service packs are no longer available for these products.

The latest available versions are available for download from http://edelivery.oracle.com

Primavera would like to ensure that all customers are using the most current version of our software. Primavera was required to rewrite portions of our software to conform to Oracle抯 policies and standards.   Because older versions do not conform to Oracle development policies, they are not approved for distribution by Oracle. Now that Primavera is an Oracle owned company, we can no longer distribute these files.

If you would prefer not to install the latest version of Primavera software, refer to the workaround below to remove the Microsoft Security Patch.
