Well, you can always do `sh runInstaller' ;-)

For some reason, I suspect that a `noexec' flag is getting set when you
mount the filesystem.  If you have `user' as one of the extra options in
/etc/fstab, that would probably do it.  You can probably get around it
by adding on an `exec' (as opposed to `noexec') to the list of options.
