Headless linux install failing with --prefix

Deadline 10.2.1.0 (same error on 10.1.23.6 as well)

Hitting an error during headless install on centos. When using the --prefix to install to a custom location, the installer fails with the following message. Note: the strange syntax Uninstall"*.desktop is how its written in the error. There is no “…/src/Uninstall” file created during install.

Hello @Kramester

Thanks for reaching out, using the flag --binariesonly just unpacks the binaries, If you want to install the client you will need to run the Installer with out that flag. You might see an permissions error at the end that is related to /lib/python3/lib/lib which is not something that blocks install or the functionality of the installed applications. Please refer this forum thread for more discussion on the same!
