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

  • (AIX, 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.

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.

When you run the LiveCycle installer, you should run it as the same user that installed WebSphere Application Server.
