26 FileMaker Server Advanced Web Publishing Installation Guide
Installing the FileMaker Site Assistant and FileMaker CDML Converter
You can install the FileMaker Site Assistant on any computer that has network access to the Web Publishing
Engine, or you can install it on the same computer as the Web Publishing Engine. The Site Assistant needs
access to the Web Publishing Engine to operate.
You can install the FileMaker CDML Converter, which does not need access to the Web Publishing Engine,
on any computer.
To install the FileMaker Site Assistant and FileMaker CDML Converter tools:
1. Insert the FileMaker Server 7 Advanced CD into the CD or DVD drive on the host computer where you
want to install the tools.
The FileMaker Server Advanced CD window appears.
2. Click the Browse icon.
3. Locate and double-click the Setup.exe file in the FileMaker Web Publishing Tools folder.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install either or both tools.
To install the FileMaker Site Assistant and FileMaker CDML Converter tools from the command line:
1. Insert the FileMaker Server 7 Advanced CD into the CD or DVD drive on the host computer where you
want to install the tools.
2. Open a command window and type:
msiexec /i <path>\FileMaker Server 7 Web Publishing Tools.msi /qn+ /Lr <log file>.txt
where:
1 <path> is the drive for your CD or DVD drive and this folder path:
\FileMaker Web Publishing Tools
Note If you have copied the FileMaker Server 7 Web Publishing Engine.msi to your hard disk, replace
the preceding path with the path to the file’s location on your hard disk.
1 <log file>.txt specifies the path and name of the text log file, such as C:\logfile.txt. You can view the log
file with WordPad or a word processing program.
For more information on using msiexec, see Windows help.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Where to go from here
After you install the Web Publishing Engine, you must use the Administration Console to configure the Web
Publishing Engine. For more information, see chapter 4, “Configuring the Web Publishing Engine.”
