Installing FileMaker Pro
You must use the installation program to install FileMaker Pro—you can’t
install FileMaker
Pro by dragging files to your hard disk.
If you want to create an install log file that lists the registry entries and path
of all installed files, you must install FileMaker
Pro from the command line.
See
“Installing FileMaker Pro from the command line” on page 15.
To install FileMaker Pro on your hard disk:
1. Do one of the following:
1 If you received your software electronically, after downloading the
file, double-click the installation icon (.exe file).
1 If you are installing FileMaker Pro using a DVD, insert the DVD
into your DVD drive, open the FileMaker DVD window, and click
the installation icon.
2. Install FileMaker Pro by following the onscreen instructions.
