Setting up assisted installations
To set up a networked volume so that users can install FileMaker Server for both Windows and
OS
X, perform the steps in the following sections.
Copying installation files to a networked volume
To make FileMaker installation files available on your network:
1. Create a folder on a networked volume for the FileMaker Server installer files.
2. Locate the following folder and files, and copy them to the folder you created on your networked
volume:
1 Windows: The Files folder, which contains the personalization file, Assisted Install.txt, and
other required installation files.
1 OS X: The FileMaker Server 15 installer application and the personalization file,
Assisted
Install.txt.
3. To use a personalization file, continue with the section “Customizing the personalization file.”
If you don’t want to use a personalization file, continue with the section “How users perform an
assisted installation” on page 7.
Customizing the personalization file
1. Use a text editor to open the Assisted Install.txt file on your networked volume.
Note The Assisted Install.txt file is a cross-platform file. The same Assisted Install.txt file can
be used for installing on both Windows and OS
X systems.
2. Modify the following variable settings as needed.
To Do this

used to register Windows (Windows) or the account user name (OS

Windows: If you leave this variable blank, the installer defaults to the name

installations

The license key is not case-sensitive.
