I recently upgraded myself, MacOS 8.6 also, and I can confirm that it works. Perhaps your browser didn't complete its work when downloading the file? Perhaps it's your MIME type to creator/type mapper. "BINA/hDmp" sounds like "binary/hexdump" to me. So it's just some anonymous, likely unassociated binary file. Do you have Stuffit Expander? Dropping the downloaded file (which is supposed to be a .bin file) on it, might expend it to the actual installer, which is a program. HTH, Bart.
