Still looking for help on how to run the installer on Linux!

Well; I set the executable bit via the 'properties' menu (this on GNOME 2 and XFCE), AND make sure that "READ and WRITE" is set for both the executable's owner and for my group.

I then wait for 30 seconds (computer, he needs to think with big electronic brain) before I do a double-click or Right-Click > Execute/Run, otherwise the system still tries to open it with WINE
Explorer or something else equally daft.

Changing the installer's suffix to .exe is daft as it is NOT a Window's executable but a Linux one,
and if you have WINE installed all sorts of merry things may then ensue.

I had no problems in this respect; my adventures with the log-in / phone-home thing are
documented elsewhere.

Richmond.
