Hi,

Sometimes during deployment on Linux machines installer fails to start. Sometimes after some digging I can chase it down to noexec policy on /tmp and/or /home directory. There is a way to change default tmp directory using push installation, there is a unixTempDirectory property in xml file passed during silent installation, but is there a parameter I can pass to override this during local, interactive installation using cvpkgadd?

Example:

unixTempDirectory="/installtest"
