There are two resolutions for each variation of this problem.

1). Perform the following steps to install adapters with 32-bit RV 8.4.0 and 32-bit TRA 5.8.0:

   a). Extract RV installer zip into a folder.
   b). Extract TRA installer zip into the SAME folder as in step 1 – Overwrite for the existed files.
    c). Run the installer.

2). Perform the following steps to install adapters with 64-bit RV 8.4.0 and 64-bit TRA 5.8.0:

    a). Extract RV installer zip into a folder.
    b). Extract TRA installer zip into the SAME folder as in step 1 – Overwrite for the existed files.
    c). Replace the following lines in the featureconfig file, e.g. product_TRA_5.8.0_FeatureConfig_data_linux26gl23_x86_64.xml, which comes with the installer before the installation begins:
