Installing FileMaker Pro in Windows 9
The following table describes options users have when performing an assisted installation from the
command line.
Notes
1 Pathname is the location of the installer directory you created on the networked volume.
1 Installpath is the desired location of the FileMaker product folder on the user’s computer. The path
cannot contain spaces unless it is enclosed by quotation marks.
1 The installer may reboot the computer if required.
Setting up an MSI transform (Windows)
You can create an MSI transform (*.mst file) to provide personalization information to the installer. For
information about Orca, MsiTran.exe, and other Windows installer development tools, see
www.microsoft.com.
1. Create a copy of the FileMaker Pro.msi file. For example, name the copy FileMaker Pro Assisted Install.msi.
2. Use Orca (or similar software) to edit FileMaker Pro Assisted Install.msi. Set the personalization
properties (AI_*) in the Property table.
See “Setting personalization properties” on page 12.
3. Use an MSI transform generating tool, like MsiTran.exe, to create a transform. For example, to create a
transform named Example.mst, type:
msitran.exe -g "FileMaker Pro.msi" "FileMaker Pro Assisted Install.txt"
Example.mst
4. Apply the transform to the installer. For example:
msitran.exe -a Example.mst "FileMaker Pro.msi"
5. Instruct users to run the installer using the command line, or by double-clicking the Setup.exe file located
on the mounted volume.
To Instruct users to open a command window, then type
