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. On the FME Form Installation Extractor dialog, specify a Destination folder in which to extract installation files. Note that this folder only specifies where installation files are extracted—it does not specify where FME Form program files are installed.
    Tip  Take note of the specified Destination folder location. Following installation, you may wish to:
    • Review the installation .log file.
    • Remove these files to save disk space.
  3. Click Install.
  4. When extraction is complete, the installer opens. On the Welcome to FME Form screen, click Next.
  5. On the Destination Folder dialog, specify a destination folder and click Next.
  6. 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, click Next. If you answer No, click Back and enter a new destination folder. You can install multiple versions of FME Form.
  7. Follow the remaining instructions in the installation wizard.
