#Filemaker pro 6 server upgrade#

Getting to the point where I want to give upВ but I 'd rather not. Installed Filemaker Server 5.5 and tried loading it all from the one VM. FileMaker Pro, the desktop app, evolved from a DOS application, originally called. In case it is a network related issue, I have actually copied all of the relevant database files to the XP Pro VM. It is available in desktop, server, iOS and web-delivery configurations.

I have done a lot of Googling on theВ error I am seeing and have turned up nothing.

#Filemaker pro 6 server upgrade#

Please don't tell me about how old this software is, I know! An upgrade is up for discussion in the New Year, but right now I need to get it all working and accessible within a virtual environment. But I am sure there are a several options missing. The weird thing is if I run the software again and open the database, then go to 'ScriptsВ > 1 Main menu' (alongВ the top bar) it seems as if I bypass the login and can see the database as intended as if I had logged in. I click 'ok' and the whole program closes. Please report this error code to your systems administrator. The problem is that when I click it, the following error crops up. However, the database is set to require a login and there is a button within said database that says 'Log in'. I opened up the Filemaker database on the XP Pro VM and it loaded without issue. Ran FM ProВ and as I have these VMs in bridged mode, they have 'real' IP addresses as per my internal network and they can see one another on the network. I then created a Windows XP Professional VM and installed Filemaker Pro 6 to that. To that end, I first virtualised the physical server and addedВ it on my VMWare Workstation Pro 15 server. I am working on creating a VM for one of my clients, so that the old Windows 2000 server running their Filemaker Server v5.5 can be retired.
