extract.exe doesn't work properly, renaming it to 'extract.exe.bad'.
That's part of the error I get when I run ./Xinstall.sh. I don't think I've
corrupted the extract.exe.bz2 file because I've tried the 'save target as'
method of downloading it and I get the same problem... any thoughts?

The versions of 'extract' and 'extract.exe' you have do not run'
correctly. Make sure that you have downloaded the correct
binaries for your system. To find out which is correct,
run 'sh ./Xinstall.sh -check'.
When you have corrected the problem, please re-run 'sh ./Xinstall.sh'
to proceed with the installation.
