3.2.1 Installation paths

To successfully install, you need read, write, and execute permissions on the installation directory. The following installation directories are the defaults; however, you can specify a different directory as required:

  • (Windows) C:\Adobe\Adobe LiveCycle ES3

  • (Linux or Solaris) opt/adobe/adobe_livecycle_es3

If the LiveCycle installation path contains international characters and the UTF-8 locale is not set on the system, LiveCycle does not recognize the fonts directory within the internationalized [LiveCycle root]. To avoid this issue, create a new fonts directory with the UTF-8 locale set and then run the Configuration Manager with UTF-8 locale, by adding the -Dfile.encoding=utf8 argument in the ConfigurationManager.bat or ConfigurationManager.sh script.

Important: When installing LiveCycle, do not use double byte or extended latin characters (such as àâçéèêëîïôùûÄÖßÜ) in the installation path.
Important: (Windows only) The LiveCycle installation directory path must not contain any non-ASCII characters (for example, international characters such as é or ñ), otherwise the JBoss Service for Adobe LiveCycle ES3 will fail to start.

When you are installing the modules on UNIX-based systems, you must be logged in as the root user to successfully install the modules to the default location, which is opt/adobe/adobe_livecycle_es3. If you are logged in as a non-root user, change the installation directory to one that you have permissions (read-write-execute privileges) for. For example, you can change the directory to /home/[username]/adobe/adobe_livecycle_es3.

Note: On a UNIX-like system, when you copy/download files from the source (installation media), install.bin might lose the executable permissions. Ensure that you restore the write-execute permissions after copying/downloading the files.

On Windows, you must have administrator privileges to install LiveCycle.

The Correspondence Management Solution is not supported on JBoss 4.2.1. So, if you plan to use Correspondence Management Solution on an upgraded version of LiveCycle, install higher version of JBoss. .
