Updating to a Newer FME Version

If you are updating to a newer version of FME, follow these steps.

Make sure you back up or relocate any custom files that you have saved in your FME installation directory.

  1. Download and run the new installation file.
  2. Specify a destination folder and click Next. If the installation wizard finds a previously installed version of FME in the specified destination folder, the installation wizard asks if you would like to uninstall it. If you answer yes, proceed to step 4. If you answer no, you can click the Back button and enter a new destination folder. You can install multiple versions of FME Desktop.
  3. On the Welcome to FME Desktop menu, click Install FME Desktop.
  4. Follow the remaining instructions in the installation wizard.
