[SOLVED] Unable to install from a .bin file
When I attempt to start the install of a .bin file, the prompt is returned almost immediately, no error messages. I have installed other .bin files with no problems. From the file directory I am typing ./file_name.bin. The file has -x from all levels. Any ideas what the issue may be? Thanks.

No errors is usually a good sign. Are you sure the install didn't work?

Yes it did not install. It should have asked for a directory to install into.

Which .bin file are your trying to install? Its a package or a game? Have you tried to execute it as a command?
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

The issue appears to be a corrupted file. I am downloading a new version. Thanks for your help.
