FileMaker is a database software. See http://www.filemaker.com/


I constructed this package using the FileMaker Pro 10 Network Install Setup Guide.pdf which outlines how to configure an Assisted Install.txt with a volume license key.

During a normal interactive installation FileMaker 10 installs Bonjour for Windows but if you want to deploy FileMaker silently then you will have to deploy Bonjour yourself first. You will see I have added it as a <depends>. The version of Bonjour for Windows that FileMaker requires >= 1.0.5, there is a newer 1.0.6 which was released by Apple in December 2008.

This is the structure of the Assisted Install.txt
