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 ES4

  • (Linux or Solaris) /opt/adobe/adobe_livecycle_es4

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 ES4 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_es4. 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_es4.

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.
