Follow the steps below to import a compressed backup of a P3 project, i.e. with PRX extension into P6:

1. From Windows Explorer, rename the .PRX extension to .EXE extension. Note: Please save the PRX/EXE file to a 16-bit friendly filepath to avoid issues. Also, If you do not see extensions in Windows Explorer, you need to uncheck the “Hide extensions for known file types” option from the Folder Options of the Tools menu in Windows Explorer.
2. Double-click on the file and you will be prompted to extract the project.
3. Select a directory to restore the project.
4. Choose File, Import in Project Management and import this P3 project.
