IC77260: SERVER INSTALL FAILS ON CHECK OF TEMP DIR SIZE EVEN WHEN INSTALLANYWHERE IATEMPDIR ENV VARIABLE IS SET.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• InstallAnywhere environment variable IATEMPDIR can be set ,when
  the temp dir on the host does not
  meet minimum size requirements, to use an alternate directory.
  
  When set, though, the installer still checks for size of temp
  directory and will fail install,
  even though IATEMPDIR points to a new temp directory with
  sufficient space.
  
  $ export IATEMPDIR=/large_tmp
  where /large_tmp meets minimum space requirements.
  
  $ echo $IATEMPDIR
  /large_tmp
  
  install.bin -i console -
  ....
