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.

MKDIR(1) BSD General Commands Manual MKDIR(1)
NAME
mkdir -- make directories
SYNOPSIS
mkdir [-p] [-m mode] directory_name ...
DESCRIPTION
mkdir creates the directories named as operands, in the order specified, using mode rwxrwxrwx (0777) as modified by the current umask(2).
The options are as follows:
-m Set the file permission bits of the final created directory to the specified mode. The mode argument can be in any of the formats
specified to the chmod(1) utility. If a symbolic mode is specified, the operation characters ``+'' and ``-'' are interpreted rela-
tive to an initial mode of ``a=rwx''.
-p Create intermediate directories as required. If this option is not specified, the full path prefix of each operand must already
exist. Intermediate directories are created with permission bits of rwxrwxrwx (0777) as modified by the current umask, plus write
and search permission for the owner. Do not consider it an error if the argument directory already exists.
The user must have write permission in the parent directory.
EXIT STATUS
mkdir exits 0 if successful, and >0 if an error occurred.
SEE ALSO
chmod(1), rmdir(1), mkdir(2), umask(2)
STANDARDS
The mkdir utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
