ERROR - Unable to locate directory to be manipulated. Deferring...

I have built an installer using installanywhere 2009 enterprise.

When this runs on windows, no problems.

However when this runs on Unix/Linux, i get the following error :
ERROR - Unable to locate directory to be manipulated. Deferring...

This occurs on a step where i am trying to manipulate multiple text files. I have to replace a variable %VAR% by the installation directory path.

I have printed the path of the directory in a dialog, and the path is correct.

I have also given Read, Write, Execute (777) to the folder and the files under that folder. However the error keeps on occuring.

I am bundling JRE Ver : Sun JRE 1.6.0_01 i18n Win32.
I have also tried JRE VER : Sun JRE 1.6.0_11 i18n Win32.

Can someone please let me know what i have missed out?:mad:

Would it be possible for you to post your project?

Unfortunately no, due to some security and IPR issues.

However you can simply do a project targeted on Linux/Solaris and manipulating a directory with some text files, changing a variable in all files with the installation path.
