During a Silent Installation of MicroStrategy, it throws a warning "The specified directory /opt/app/mstr is not empty." when trying to run setup.sh, not allowing you to continue the installation. This warning can be safely bypassed.

Summary:
During a Silent Installation of Strategy, it throws a warning "The specified directory /opt/app/mstr is not empty." when trying to run setup.sh, not allowing you to continue the installation.  This warning can be safely bypassed.
Symptom:
When performing a Silent Installation for Strategy, the installation will stop with the following message:
 


[10/25/2018 12:58:20:848 EDT][AdvancedLog][WARNING][TargetDirectoriesDialogSilent][isValidDirectory]: The specified directory /opt/app/mstr is not empty.

This message will appear even when the specified directory is empty.
