Installation notes
1 On Windows, you can install FileMaker Server in a non-default location including a non-boot volume,
but not on remote network drives or external removable drives. The path you specify replaces the
beginning of the default installation path, \Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server. For example, if
you specify the My_Path installation folder, the Databases, Scripts, and Extensions folders are installed
as follows:
1 \My_Path\Data\Databases
1 \My_Path\Data\Scripts
1 \My_Path\Database Server\Extensions
