About silent assisted installations (Windows) 8
Windows: A shortcut pointing to the Admin Console login page is created in Start menu > All
Programs
> FileMaker Server (or Start menu > Programs > FileMaker Server) on the master
machine. On Windows versions that have the Start screen, the shortcut is available on the
Windows Start screen.
OS X: An alias pointing to the Admin Console login page is created on the desktop of the master
machine.
Notes
1 To install FileMaker Server, users must have administrator privileges.
1 In Windows, you can choose the language displayed in the installer. In OS X, the installer
displays in the same language as the current OS X system language. In Windows and OS X,
the language that users see when they use FileMaker Server Admin Console is the same as
the language of the base OS installation on the master machine.
About silent assisted installations (Windows)
During a silent (unattended) installation, user interaction with the FileMaker Server installer is kept
to a minimum. Required installation information is read from the personalization file,
Assisted
Install.txt, and installation screens are not displayed.
There are two ways to perform a silent installation. Users can:
1 Double-click the Setup.exe file, which is located on the mounted volume. This method requires
that you modify the Setup.ini file. For more information, see the next section.
1 Type the installation command and applicable options at the command line. For more
information, see
“Performing a silent installation using the command line (Windows)” on
page 9.
Important
1 By default FileMaker Server uses ports 80 and 443 on the user’s machine. If ports 80 and 443
are not available, you must specify replacement ports that are available, or the software will not
install.
1 FileMaker Server requires the following components:
1 Java Runtime Environment
1 Bonjour for Windows
1 Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Redistributable Package
1 Microsoft Application Request Routing
FileMaker Server installer automatically installs these components if they are not on the user’s
machine. For information about FileMaker Server hardware and software requirements, see the
FileMaker Server system requirements.
