Figured this one out. It took me a while, but it was one of those silly little things that you wish you'd thought of earlier. I had /tmp mounted with the noexec flag so it couldn't run the extracted installer script from the /tmp folder.
I started bash. Did an su Then edited the /etc/fstab to remove the noexec option using vi. Saved the fstab Rebooted Now the installer works :-)
