Cause:
=====
This problem is usually caused by either:

1). The home directory does not exist for the user who is performing the installation.

2). The home directory does exist but there is not enough disk space within the home directory for writing to the .TIBCO directory during the installation.

Resolution:
=========
The home directory must be created for this user with enough writable disk space to complete the installation.
