Hi,

I did installed FME Desktop on Windows partition (mac). I just started learning FME. I did extracted the data onto C:\\ drive as mentioned , and was unable to run the data (failed). Anyone can guide me on this issue.

Regards

Are your other GIS programs, databases etc Windows specific? If not, I would just install FME Desktop for mac to not have to bother with partitioning.


Hi,

Thanks for your help, I did installed Arc Gis on windows partition (mac) . I just started learning FME and realised during course. Cannot we amend the file path to make it work.

Regards


.fmw files are plain text so what you could do is run a global search and replace on all .fmw files in that folder (and subfolders) replacing C:\\FMEData2019 with the path of where your data is, in my case it would be /Users/redgeographics/Documents/FMEData2019

You will end up with a mix of / and \\ in your paths but FME doesn't seem to be too bothered by that.
