IDM installation fails if admin password contains special characters

If Admin password contains special characters like '#', '$' the installation fails. The error in /tmp/idmInstall.log reports an issue extending the schema.

This seams to be an Linux and Unix only issue.

Changing the Admin password to something which does not have special characters during the installation will solve the issue.

There are two things which can be seen in /tmp/idmInstall.log;
