    Description

      Issue Summary

      Trying to upgrade Jira using the response.varfile as described here fails.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Download a Jira installer;
      2. Upgrade Jira;
      3. Use the created <installation-directory>/.install4j/response.varfile to make a second upgrade.

      Expected Results

      A successful upgrade.

      Actual Results

      We are presented with these messages in the terminal:

      Unpacking JRE ...
      Starting Installer ...
      The installation directory has been set to /opt/atlassian2/jirasoftware.
      It appears that JIRA is already installed in the directory you selected.  Please choose a different directory.
      

      Workaround

      In the response.varfile file, this line:

      sys.confirmedUpdateInstallationString=False
      

      Should actually look like this:

      sys.confirmedUpdateInstallationString=true
      

      Just make this replacement, and now the upgrade should happen successfully.
