    This is error usually is from trying to run an executable on incompatible architecture. SEP for Linux  14.3 RU1 and newer support only x86_64. See Supported kernels of Symantec Linux Agent and compare with output of "uname -r" on your system.

    Hi Ed. 

    Thank you for your feedback.  Here is my next question for your confirmation. 

    As above, I repackaged the offline SEP Linux installer on a Redhat 7 system with kernel version (e.g: 3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64).

    After repackage is done. I transferred the offline installation package into another Redhat 7 system using the same version 3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64. 

    After running both chmod command and ./LinuxInstaller command to start the installation. The same error above appears. 


    Confirmation: In this scenarios, Is this consider incompatible architecture?

    Your kernel appears to meet the requirements. I don't know what's wrong, otherwise. You should Google the error message ("cannot execute binary file exec format error") -- it is not uncommon and you may get a clue from those results. For example, it is often suggested to check the contents of the executable with the Linux "file" command. That is, what is output of "file LinuxInstaller"?
