About the personalization file

An assisted installation eases installation of FileMaker Pro in a multiple-computer environment. You enter installation options into a personalization file and make the file available on your network. FileMaker Pro then installs with minimal user intervention.

The personalization file, Assisted Install.txt, is used by the FileMaker Pro installer in Windows and by the FileMaker Pro application in macOS, but the Assisted Install.txt files are platform-specific and cannot be interchanged.

Note  The ProductName.pdf file is a plain text file that conforms to the Microsoft Package Definition File format. This file is required for mass deployment of FileMaker Pro via the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). Don't edit this file unless you are using SCCM for installation. In that case, after creating the installer package, open the ProductName.pdf properties. In the General tab, for Command line, type setup.exe /S/qn, click OK, then perform the installation.
