Installation and New Features Guide

14 | Installing FileMaker Pro in Windows
1 At the start of installation, you choose a language version for the
FileMaker
Pro application. The default selection matches your
operating system language. A Complete install will install only the
language version you choose. You can install additional language
versions by choosing Custom install, then selecting other language
packs from the list of supported languages.
1 Prior to an upgrade installation or software update, FileMaker
software scans all hard drives and volumes connected to your system,
searching for previous versions. This scan may take several minutes if
you have multiple drives or volumes.
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.
