Install FME Server: Express Installation for Windows

This chapter provides information for an express installation of FME Server for Windows. Before getting started, take a few minutes to review Install FME Server: Before You Begin.

If this FME Server installation will be available to users outside an internal network (for example, on an external website), we recommend that you configure Windows to route FME Server communication requests internally instead of over the internet. Doing so allows communication between FME Server components, such as between the FME Server Core and the Notification Service, to take place through the local server, rather than through an external server that resolves requests slower.

  1. Open the following file:

    2. C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

  2. Add an entry that maps 127.0.0.1 (localhost) to the external hostname. Here is what the entry would be for an external website called fmeserver.com:

    3. 127.0.0.1 fmeserver.com

To Perform an Express Installation for Windows

  1. Run the Installer
  2. Starting and Stopping FME Server
  3. Licensing
  4. Verify the Installation
