usually means  the first line of that shell script is bad....

probably a non-existent /bin/sh  if it was #!/bin/sh
or  you have dos vs unix issues
	cp install.wp  /tmp
	vi /tmp/install.wp
		- put a crlf as the last line
	/tmp/install.wp
		- should work

	you probably wanna tr that file...

	sh isntall.wp  should work too
	except you still have tons of ^M instead of crlf
