16 | Installing FileMaker Pro in Windows
During the FileMaker Pro installation, the installer uses the following
process:
1 If Bonjour isn’t detected, the installer alerts you and prompts you to
install Bonjour.
1 If Bonjour is detected but the installed version is not supported by
FileMaker, the installer alerts you. It prompts you to manually uninstall
the older version of Bonjour and manually install the version supported
by FileMaker.
1 If Bonjour is detected and the installed version is supported by
FileMaker, the installer doesn’t alert you and doesn’t install Bonjour.
To install Bonjour manually:
1. Open the FileMaker Pro installation folder.
2. Open the Bonjour folder.
3. Open the 32-bit or 64-bit folder based on your version of Windows.
4. Double-click the BonjourSetup icon.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Bonjour.
Where files are stored on your hard disk
The FileMaker Pro installer copies files to several folders on your hard
disk, depending on the installation options you choose and your
operating system. If you performed a command line installation and
specified an install log file, you can view the install log file, which lists the
location of each installed file.
