Failed to install Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (case-sensitive user directory)

Hello

I have problems to install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my Mac (10.8.3). The installer fails with the message:

The installation failed. Setup has encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the manufacturer of the software.

After looking in the Setup log (/ var/log/install.log), the problem is:

May 23 01:32:01 mac14.local installed [1117]:. / Preinstall: Installer from...

May 23 01:32:01 mac14.local installed [1117]:. / Preinstall: mode silently.

May 23 01:32:01 mac14.local installed [1117]:. / Preinstall: user folder is case-sensitive. Failed to install.

May 23 01:32:01 mac14.local installed [1117]:. / Preinstall: Installer to walk away with the Code:-3 23 May 01:32:01 wtmac14.local installed [1117]:. / Preinstall: AAMInstaller: exit code: 253

Note that my $HOME directory is on a separate partition from the junkyard. Otherwise, the system partition (where / applications is located) is a case insensitive as usual.

So, why can't I install the latest version of Acrobat with a case-sensitive $HOME directory? I had no such problems in installation of Acrobat 9 Pro.

Is there a way to get around this?

Thank you.

Well, you can temporarily change the path variable during installation... Otehrwise it is correct. Adobe apps don't support case-sensitive sort volumes because - well - software engineers the Apple API for this are atrocious and unreliable.
