Developer’s Guide

Installing FileMaker Pro Developer Edition 1-11
What end users need
To run your solution in Windows 3.1, Windows NT, Windows 95, or
Windows 98, your end users need the following minimum equipment:
1 an Intel-compatible 486/33 or faster computer with at least 8 MB
of RAM
1 a hard disk
Note Windows 3.1 requires Win32s 1.30, available in the FileMaker Pro
4.0 folder on the Developer Edition CD-ROM.
Additionally, Windows NT 3.51 and Windows 3.1 require that the
4winsys folder be included in your solution distribution. See “Windows
runtime solution files” on page 4-2 for details.
To run your solution in the Mac OS, your end users need the following
minimum equipment and software:
1 any Macintosh, Power Macintosh, or compatible computer running
System 7.1 or later
1 a hard disk and 4 MB of RAM (8 MB RAM recommended)
Using solution files over a network
End users cannot access solution files over a network using the runtime
application. Unlike the FileMaker Pro 4.0 application, the runtime
application does not support peer-to-peer or client/server networking.
To share runtime solution files over a network, each end user must open
the solution files using his or her own copy of the FileMaker Pro 4.0
application. For optimal performance, they should host the solution files
using FileMaker Pro Server for Windows NT or for the Mac OS.

Warning Not all runtime application features are available in
FileMaker Pro 4.0, such as:
1 running solutions in Kiosk mode
1 specifying custom About, Help, and Script menu items
When a solution file is opened in FileMaker Pro 4.0, the Kiosk mode
interface and custom menu items are replaced by the FileMaker Pro 4.0
interface.
