1-4 FileMaker Pro Server Administrator’s Guide
Installing FileMaker Pro Server
Use the Installer to install the complete FileMaker Pro Server package on
your hard disk. The Installer creates a folder called FileMaker Pro Server 3.0
Folder. To host database files located in a folder from a previous version of
FileMaker Pro Server, move them into the FileMaker Pro Server 3.0 Folder.
The following table shows the files and folders you can install and the best
location for them on your hard disk.
