Some users are reporting issues with installing the recently released FileMaker Pro 8.0v3 update.

MacFixIt reader Tim Mansour writes:

"I've just tried to install the FileMaker Server 8.0v3 patch, following their usual instructions. It just hangs at the point where it says 'searching volume...'. As per the usual FileMaker update instructions, it does mention in the read-me that the install can take several minutes if there are network volumes attached (there weren't). And I left it to run overnight with no results (Aside: Given that the server is installed in /Library/FileMaker Server/ what on earth is it searching for anyway?)

"The install machine is an Xserve G5 running OS X Server 10.4.6 and has 2 drives in a mirrored RAID config.

"I'm referring here to the FileMaker Server patch, not the web component patch (aka Advanced) which I did install successfully on a second Xserve."
