Installer unable to create symbolic link - Lucee installation fails

Unresolved

Description

I am trying to set up a virtual machine on Microsoft Azure running ubuntu server 18.04. When I run the Lucee command-line install (version 5.3.2.077) the progress bar gets to 100%, then sits there for about 5 seconds and then returns the following three errors:

_Unable to create symbolic link /opt/lucee/jre/legal/java.xml/ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO -> …/java.base/ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO

Unable to create symbolic link /opt/lucee/jre/legal/java.xml/ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION -> …/java.base/ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION

Unable to create symbolic link /opt/lucee/jre/legal/java.xml/LICENSE -> …/java.base/LICENSE_

As per the documentation, I am using the below commands to launch the installer:

sudo chmod 744 lucee-5.3.2.077-pl0-linux-x64-installer.run
sudo ./lucee-5.3.2.077-pl0-linux-x64-installer.run

Further, during the installation process, I selected that Lucee should run as “root”

Environment

Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine running ubuntu server 18.04 (fresh install)

It seems that Microsoft or Lucee have made a change. I was able to successfully install Lucee yesterday, so this issue no longer seems to be an issue.
