Frustalupi: When I try to run the sh file from terminal, I receive the error:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing SOMA (GOG.com) 100%
Collecting info for this system...
Operating system: linux
CPU Arch: x86_64
trying mojosetup in bin/linux/x86_64
USING en_US

PANIC
Initial setup failed. Cannot continue.

Error: Couldn't run mojosetup


My specs:
UBUNTU 15.04
Nvidia 760GTX
I have many other game on STEAM and GOG, but never found this kind of error....

Frustalupi: Yes sure.
I have also download again the 11GB but the error remain.
I see in internet that some users had same problem with AMNESIA.
They resolved with command "unzip ./amnesia*.sh" but if I try to unzip the SOMA*.sh I receive a "wrong zip format error" so I guess that you used a different format when created the SH archive with MAKESELF.
I talked with support of Frictional games, they told me to ask you if there is a way to extract the SH file...

Do you have any suggestion about how resolve my problem?

Thank you

Frustalupi: I get :

drwxrwxrwt 15 root root 16384 set 24 17:50 /tmp/

gerasmus: Hi there,
I am unable to install Yooka Lay-Lee on Linux Mint 18.1, due to an error.
I have redownloaded the game file at least three times, gog_yooka_laylee_2.0.0.1.sh and attempted to install without any success. I have also looked at the solution you provided here.
The game used to run fine, until I accidentally wiped the additional hard drive where it was installed. Upon redownloading and reinstalling Yooka Lay-Lee fails to install.
I noticed that setup failed at en_US, I already changed keybord to US English, made no difference.
I'm from South Africa, using Dutch language interface.
