UNIX problem concerning Microsoft Office Binary - Filesystems, Disks and Memory

chrisfrap · #1 (**permalink**) 08-21-2006

I just started using Terminal on my Mac this summer, and right now I am having problems making a shell script. This shell should run the "Microsoft Setup Assistant" once I run the Automator Script. Alas, I still have problems.

Here is the offending scriptlet:

Sudo Tcsh
[12:/Volumes/Microsoft Office 2004] root# cd /Volumes/Microsoft\ Office\ 2004/
[12:/Volumes/Microsoft Office 2004] root# ./Office\ Setup\ Assistant
./Office Setup Assistant: ./Office Setup Assistant: cannot execute binary file

is there a way I can get around this?

Am I correct in my impression that you're trying to run a Windows program on a mac?

You may be under that impression, but no; I was installing Microsoft Office Pro for Mac, I did check out my software.

I was just having a lot of issues with my Shell Script, and I couldn't get the setup assistant to run.
