What is it that the program RunInstaller is supposed to do? You may in fact have permission to run it, but the permission error is something the program is next attempting to do.
Fo instance, maybe the first step is to create a subdirectory, and you do not have rights to the parent directory.

Hello,
do this.

Code:

> sudo bash
# ./runInstall.sh

I would also suggest you copy the install files to /tmp and run the file there.
If your home directory is a NFS share, then there could be a share permissions issue. I had issues with this before. When I moved the same file to /tmp and ran it it worked fine.

That error message could also indicate that the script is trying to execute a file which does not have an executable bit set. This is something that even root cannot do.

I suggest inspecting the permissions of install/.oui (if it still exists after the failed attempt) and grep the installer's files for mentions of that file name. Alternatively, use strace on the installer, making sure to provide the option to follow children. The output will very likely indicate the nature of the failure.
