About installing the Microsoft .NET
Framework
The Microsoft .NET Framework provides common functionality for many
Windows applications. You need to have a specific version of .NET
installed on your system for FileMaker
Pro to run.
If .NET is not installed when you start FileMaker Pro, an error message
appears and FileMaker
Pro will not run.
During the FileMaker Pro installation, the installer uses the following
process:
1 If the required version of .NET isn’t detected, the installer alerts you and
prompts you to install .NET. The .NET installer requires Internet access
to download the necessary files. If you choose not to install .NET at this
time, you can install it manually later, but you will not be able to use
FileMaker Pro until .NET is installed.
1 If the required version of .NET is detected, the installer doesn’t alert
you and doesn’t install .NET.
To install .NET manually:
1. Open the FileMaker Pro installation folder.
2. Open the Files folder, then open the DotNet folder.
3. Double-click the icon.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to install .NET.
