1-4 FileMaker Pro Installation and New Features Guide
Requirements for advanced features
Some of the advanced features of FileMaker Pro 4.0 require additional
software.
AppleScript is installed with a normal System software installation. The
Internet Config application and extension are installed with some
versions of System software. If you don’t have this software, refer to our
Web site at http://www.claris.com for further information.
Before you begin
Before you begin the installation process, turn off virus protection and
file sharing.
Virus protection utilities and personal file sharing can interfere with the
operation of the FileMaker Pro Installer. Before you install
FileMaker Pro, disable these utilities and turn off file sharing.
Installing FileMaker Pro
You must use the installation program to install FileMaker Pro—you
can’t install the application by dragging files to your hard disk.
Starting the Installer
To start the FileMaker Pro Installer:
1. Disable virus protection and file sharing if you haven’t already.
2. Insert the CD-ROM disc into your CD-ROM drive.
You see the disc’s window on your screen. If you see only the disc
icon, double-click the icon to open its window.
