Everytime I install FM Server 5.0 to the D: drive, it installs to the default, C:Program Files. What the heck am I missing here?

Maybe it has to do with something being service.

FileMaker Inc. is using some cheapo and weirdo installers, as we found on WebConnector NT installation. Absolute rubbish that one

Anatoli is incorrect. It has nothing to do with being a service. If you want to install FM Server 5.0 or FM Server 5.5 on anything other than the C drive, select custom install-->change drive location.

Do not install the exe on anything OTHER than a physical drive of the server CPU, and include the database files on the same drive as the exe.

Didn't I write "Maybe it has to do with something being service"?

And I am absolutely right about quality of WebConnector installer.

BTW here is the solution dxtopher send me:

-------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the response, Anatoli. I have discovered the solution. You must first create the destination folder on the target drive before you run the install. Filemaker will not create a new folder and will install to the default (C:program filesfilemaker) if you don’t do this first.

-------------------------------------------------

Isn't that bad installer?

You can install on any physical drive on the CPU. But you must select custom install during the install setup process if you want to install on other than the C drive. I have done any number of these, although usually I do install on the C drive.

The WSC has nothing to do with FileMaker Server; the WSC is part of FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited.

That knows all 10-year-old kids here If you read correctly what I've posted, it relates to quality of FileMaker Inc. Installers in general.

IMHO Rubbish.
