In the "install" frame, I am dropping files into the "Installer Temp Directory" then executing a script/batch file. (Also under the "install" frame".)
I am using $INSTALLER_TEMP_DIR$ in my script to point to the files I put there. For example: #!/bin/sh echo $INSTALLER_TEMP_DIR$ path_to_my_file=$INSTALLER_TEMP_DIR$/my_file
The problem is that IA 2008vp1 is not replacing this IA variable with the value. All the other IA variables that _I_ created _are_ getting replaced.
This is a very strange problem. I went through my linux script and inserted a bunch of these: echo $INSTALLER_TEMP_DIR$
The end result was: sometimes it was replaced with: echo /tmp/745049.tmp and sometimes it was left as-is.
I spent almost all day on this problem and was unable to get to the root cause. I ended up putting a line like this at the top of the script: my_temp_dir=$INSTALLER_TEMP_DIR$ and used $my_temp_dir throughout the rest of the script.
I still don't know the root cause, but at least I'm not going to lose anymore time on it.
