In the case of files crossing the ms-windows/unix platforms, as well as
having line ending conventions appropriate to the platform, for unix-like
systems, you should check that the execute permissions are set for the
script. What I've found when unpacking package.zip files on unix is the
unexpected loss of the execute permissions.

To show the execute permissions, use

 stat FILENAME
 stat /bin/sh
 stat ./create-administrator

Look for x in the 'access' field.

To add execute permissions, use

 man chmod
 chmod u+x FILENAME
