This article provides a solution on how to force an installer to use a specific directory to unpack temporary files used for installation.Discussion
InstallAnywhere checks for the system environment variable IATEMPDIR and resolves its value as the temp directory path. Setting IATEMPDIR prior to launching the installer will redirect the installer's temporary directories to the specified location.Examples: setenv IATEMPDIR=/home/my_user_name/tmp
or
export IATEMPDIR=/home/my_user_name/tmp
