CR1MA1131E Error:The installation Manager could not be stareted beacase Installation Manager could not write to the directory :/var/ibm/InstallationManager

Hi
IBM Installation Manager has what we call an agent data location where it needs to write its metadata.
On Unix/Linux, the /var/ibm/InstallationManager is the default for administrators.
Does you user has permissions to write there?
Here is further information on the agent data location in the IM 1.7 infocenter:

Else, regarding the command you use:
Which version of IBM Installation Manager are you using?
Is IBM Installation Manager already installed?
If so, you do not need to use installc but you rather use the imcl executable imcl.exe input response_file -log log_file) located under the /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
Else, I am not certain of your command  (for example you do need only -acceptLicense) and might not need the "--launcher.ini user-silent-install.ini".
Instead you may want to use userInstc
Check the following links:

Hi Dhruv,
What is the user which you are trying to run installation manager? Please check whether this users rwx permissions to /var/ibm directory (or start IM as a root).
