Observe the following best practices with the installer
files before you begin the installation process.
Check the DVD installation media
Ensure
that the installation media that you received is not damaged. If
you copy the installation media contents to the hard disk of your
computer where you are installing LiveCycle, ensure that you copy
the entire DVD contents on to the hard disk. To avoid installation
errors, do not copy the DVD install image to a directory path that
exceeds the Windows maximum path length limit.
Install
LiveCycle either by using a local copy of the installation files
or directly from the DVD. The installation could fail when LiveCycle
is installed over the network. Also, do not use special characters
in the local path (for example, the character ‘#’).
Check the downloaded files
If you downloaded
the installer from the Adobe web site, verify the integrity of the
installer file using the MD5 checksum. Do one of the following to
calculate and compare the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file with
the checksum published on the Adobe download web page:
Linux: Use the md5sum command
Solaris: Use the digest command
Windows: Use a tool such as WinMD5
AIX: Use
the md5sum command
Expand the downloaded archive files
If
you downloaded the ESD from the Adobe web site, extract the entire
lces_server_11_0_0_websphere_all_win.zip (Windows) or lces_server_11_0_0_websphere_all_unix.tar.gz
(AIX, Linux, or Solaris) archive file to your computer. For non-windows,
use the gunzip command to extract the .gz file.
Note: Be sure to keep the directory hierarchy unchanged
from the original ESD file.
