1-12 FileMaker Pro Server Administrator’s Guide
Removing the software
You can use the Installer application to remove the FileMaker Pro Server
files from your hard disk. No database files or folders (like the
FileMaker Pro Server 3.0 Folder) are removed. You can delete any empty
folders that remain after removing FileMaker Pro Server.
To remove FileMaker Pro Server:
1. Disable system extensions—especially virus protection software—and
file sharing.
A quick way to disable system extensions is to restart your computer
while holding down the Shift key.
2. Insert the backup disk into the floppy disk drive of your computer and
double-click the Installer icon.
3. Click Continue to dismiss the Installer welcome screen.
4. In the Installer dialog box, select Custom Remove from the pop-up menu in
the top-left corner of the dialog box.
The dialog box lists the files you can remove.
5. Click the checkbox next to the components you want to remove.
Click the information button next to the selected filename to see
information about your selection.
6. Be sure the folder designated in the lower left of the dialog box is the
folder where the software is located.
If you need to, click Select Folder and choose a different disk or folder.
7. Click Remove.
The Installer begins removing files. After all the files are removed, a final
dialog box tells you the removal was successful. If you remove MacIPX
or the Thread Manager from your System Folder, you must also restart
your computer.
8. Click Quit or Restart to leave the Installer and restart your computer, if
necessary.
9. If you turned off virus protection and file sharing before installing,
remember to turn them back on now.
