I am trying to install the FreeFileSync Donation Edition on Fedora 42/Gnome 48 and getting a strange error that says the run file is an option?

I have removed the bracket symbols in both run and key filenames and without the ticks but still get the same error. Help?

max@fedora:~/Downloads/FreeFileSync_14.4_[Donation_Edition]_Linux$ ./'FreeFileSync_14.4_[Donation_Edition]_Install.run'
[binfmt_dispatcher] Using FEX with muvm
Using default interface naming scheme 'v257'.

Unknown option provided: ./'FreeFileSync_14.4_[Donation_Edition]_Install.run'

"/usr/bin/FEXInterpreter" process exited with status code: 1

Did you extract the contents first? And make sure the .run is set as executable?

Yes, I did extract the zip file. The .run file is set to execute and did execute to delivery that message.

I'm guessing you have an ARM-based device? Seems like issues with binfmt/FEX/muvm are pretty common when installing x86/x64 programs. Status code '1' isn't descriptive, you'll need more verbose logs

Yes, the laptop is on Fedora Arm64/Aarch64. I had to install FEX as required by the install run file and I may have missed a lib or two...

Is there a specific requirement list for libs available?
Where will I find the logs that will provide more information?

Thanks!
