Just an FYI: Deleting the size line made the binary self install work
perfectly.

However, if we use a separate untar utility (or tar), it seems to
uncompress and expand fine. He is going to go ahead and install it

manually.

Is there perhaps a problem with the shell script? In line 24

TAR_FILE_SIZE=41899191

Change that number to the size of the file in bytes (check with ls -l) if
you're sure it downloaded correctly. Or just delete the lines in the
installation script that check the file size.
