Lisa M. Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Hi everyone: given that a runtime app is a stripped-down fileMaker with just enough FileMaker to make the thing go; I would assume that just the runtime environment and the data file’s minimum system requirements would be very similar to if not slightly less than the System Requirements For The Full FileMaker Pro 12 or 12 Advanced applications as stated by Claris/FileMaker does anyone have an idea as to if the requirements are less than, greater than, or equal to those linked above? If the minimum requirements for runtime apps differ in any significant way; please specify how they differ. thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 The runtime was deprecated for many years and officially removed from FM 19. I would say that any minimum required versions would be dependent on the version the runtime is operating on 18 being the last one. https://support.claris.com/s/article/System-Requirements-for-FileMaker-Pro-18-Advanced?language=en_US Most users are one OS update from not being able to properly run FM 18 let alone a runtime.

Well, I’m currently on 12 and that’s mostly a desktop app solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 well one possible solution to extend the availability and access to FMP12 if for some reason you did have a newer computer is you could use a VM of an older version of OS and FM12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime. Right now everything works under the current windows 11, however shed something blowup in my face as it often does then I can fall back to running FM 12 and applications as such in a virtual machine. If I wanted to sell my solutions then Clearly, this would not be the way to go as who would want to pay for a separate VMWare Workstation License, which vmware is my preferred virtualization platform of choice.
