Temporary installation directory

The installer uses a temporary location during the installation process. The default temporary location on Windows is defined in the system environment variables and is usually set to C:\temp. The default temporary location on UNIX is /var/tmp.

If there is not enough available space in the default temporary location, the installer may not start, or it may start, but notify you that there is not enough space available. Do one of the following:

Setting the temporary location on Windows

For Windows, open a Command Prompt window and enter:

setup -is:tempdir

where tempdir is the full path to an alternate temporary directory in a different location.

For example:

setup -is:tempdir D:\temp

This command sets the temporary directory to D:\temp. This directory must exist before you execute this command; that is, the command does not create the directory for you.

Setting the temporary location on UNIX

For UNIX, enter:

setup -is:tempdir

where tempdir is the full path to an alternate temporary directory in a different location.

For example:

setup -is:tempdir opt/working/temp

This command sets the temporary directory to opt/working/temp. This directory must exist before you execute this command; that is, the command does not create the directory for you.

NoteDo not use spaces or special characters in the UNIX path.
