Just as a sidenote: the 'x' permission for a directory means that
the directory may be searched. It has nothing to do with executing
files. However, if one cannot search a directory, one cannot open
files in it, and what cannot be opened cannot be executed.

Ok, fixed it- I had to give execution permission to the entire
directory (not just the script).

do you have read-write-execute privileges for those directories and
the files within them?
What are the values of $INSTALL_DIR, $DATA_DIR, and $DELETE_DATA?
Could they be weird directories with weird permissions, like belonging
to a user that made the zip file but that may not exist on your system?

Same result,as well.
It's probably worth noting that the line of code that's apparently
triggering this is as follows:
exec ./xinstall $INSTALL_DIR $DATA_DIR $DELETE_DATA

I have granted it execute permission using chmod, but I still get the
same error.
