From the error I would say the following: most likely your setup was generated on Windows and then it was transferred to Mac OS X via FTP and as the setup starts with a text script, the FTP was mislead into believing that the file was text when it should have been transferred as binary. Retransfer the file as binary or .zip it in order to force the binary transfer and you should be ok.

When you transfer the file from your Windows to your MAC OS you should pass the "bin" at the command prompt before you transfer the file from Windows to Mac OS through Terminal.
Though the file is a ZIP file. Non-Windows always take it as Binary and so you should transfer the file in the Binary mode, also make sure that you give the "CHMOD 777 install.zip" after the transfer.
This should make your installer work as expected.

Hi,
I have the same "^M" problem on Mac which also appears in Uninstall files.
My Install files are generated on a PC. I think InstallAnywhere generates corrupted MacOs script files (to check i did an install using a burned DVD installer and it had the same corrupted script files).
thunder, do you find a solution finaly ?
Thx in advance.
