Description

When I try to run the binary, this happens:

```
roland@Ubuntu1804:~/Downloads/WindTerm_2.5.0$ ./WindTerm
bash: ./WindTerm: Permission denied
```

The execute flag is set, but a strange file is also created.

```
roland@Ubuntu1804:~/Downloads/WindTerm_2.5.0$ ls -la

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported ./WindTerm launch failure on Ubuntu 18.04 using the WindTerm_2.5.0 directory and compare the listed file permissions with the generated filename. Investigate the binary launch path and the cause of the unexpected file. Done means the distributed binary starts successfully and no unexpected file is created.
