Cannot execute binary file?

[fatboyjim]

I found a patch on Tucows which allowed you to install Unreal Tournament in Linux, patch it and away you go

Unfortunately I am unable to execute executables in Linux for some reason. It says it's "Executable" (Setup.exe on the mounted CDROM) but when I try it nothing happens and when I open the terminal it says "Bash: Cannot execute binary file"

What's going on?

This is on Mandrake 8.2

Normally, Linux CANNOT execute a program compiled and linked for Windows, assuming that "setup.exe" is a windows/DOS program file.

You may want to check whatever instructions came with the file.

Yup, thanks I re-read the readme and in fact the 'patch' allows you to INSTALL the game, not run it once installed

So you open the ./setup.sh and it installs it for Linux from your Windows CD


Thanks again
