Hey @mike_killoran, we used IA 2015 but we are in the process of updating to the latest version, i.e., 2020. We didn't get any help from Flexera because IA 2015 already past the point of support. Ultimately, we found a link with some documentation suggesting a solution which worked for us: Somewhere in your Main class, you can add this: cliInstallerProxy.setVariable("$CHECK_DISK_SPACE$", "FORCE"); In our case, adding this worked to revert faulty installations by having no enough space. There is another workaround which is using an alternate temp directory: export IATEMPDIR=$HOME I hope this helps for you.

Hello, I'm trying to understand if there is a way to set up an InstallAnywhere project so once it's completed with the installation, it cleans up the files placed in the tmp folder in Linux. After doing some research I was able to figure out that the default tmp folder can be changed to a custom one by doing: export IATEMPDIR= $HOME before executing the installer. I was able to test that workaround and works fine but I'm wondering if the temporary files can be deleted once the process is complete. Most Linux distributions have jobs that either clean the temporary folder on startup or at a given time but we have encountered issues with machines that never get restarted. One scenario that we have seen as well is when multiple installations happen in the same Linux machine the tmp folder gets full and affects users who don't have the knowledge of how to clean up this folder. Is there an option for this? PD: We have a previous issue here: https://community.flexera.com/t5/InstallAnywhere-Forum/InstallAnywhere-tool-taking-too-much-temp-folder-space-in-Ubuntu/m-p/130257 Thanks. @flexera

Hello, We have a custom solution that is built on top of InstallAnywhere 2015 and we have seen that in Ubuntu, the temp folder gets filled in really fast by temporary files created by the IA based installer and never get cleaned/removed once the installation process is completed. In theory, for most Linux distributions, getting rid of the temporary files is done on boot or by some tasks but I'm wondering if there is a configuration in the InstallAnywhere tool that allows us to set up the deletion of those files at the end of the installation. We are aware of the workaround to use an alternative temp folder in case the default one gets filled: export IATEMPDIR= $HOME Thanks in advance!
