Newbies dxtopher Posted November 20, 2001 Newbies Share Posted November 20, 2001 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 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.

Anatoli Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 RE: Anatoli is incorrect. It has nothing to do with being a service. 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?

Steven H. Blackwell Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 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. HTH Old Advance Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
