FME Flow: 2024.2

Install on Windows

To install FME Engine in a Windows environment

  1. Run the FME installer on any computers that are running FME Engines that you want to upgrade.

    Be sure to leave the existing FME Engine in place as a backup:

    <FMEFlowDir>\Server\fme

    and create a new directory for the upgraded FME:

    <FMEFlowDir>\Server\FMEEngineUpgrade

  2. Open Windows Explorer.
  3. Make a copy of the file <FMEFlowDir>\Server\FMEEngineUpgrade\fme.exe, place that copy in the same <FMEFlowDir>\Server\FMEEngineUpgrade directory, and rename it FMEEngine.exe.

  4. Edit the <FMEFlowDir>\Server\processMonitorConfigEngines.txt file.

    Look for lines that start FME Engines, such as the following:

    TEMPLATE_START_ENGINE="C:/Program Files/FMEFlow/Server/fme/FMEEngine.exe"

    and change the path to the new FME, for example:

    TEMPLATE_START_ENGINE="C:/Program Files/FMEFlow/Server/FMEEngineUpgrade/FMEEngine.exe"

  5. Restart FME Flow.

  6. To confirm that you are using the upgraded FME Engine from the new path and that you are using the FME build that you require, check the process monitor engine log (fmeprocessmonitorengine.log) on any computer running an FME Engine.

    In the log, you should see your new FME Engine path and build number reflected in the FME Start-up sections.
