The game uses text based installer. The most reliable way to install it is probably from a terminal.

Otherwise change the file to executable in the properties dialog and try again. Not sure if most desktop environments are setup to handle text based installers though.

don't think so

Put the installer into your home directory.
Open the terminal form the menu or by typing gnome-terminal into the run dialog.
Enter "sh vendetta-linux-ia32-installer.sh" into the terminal and follow the instructions. You can just type "sh ven" and hit tab it should autocomplete the name.

If you are using ubuntu there's a chance that the installation will fail, in that case create a directory called bin in your home directory and try again.
