SoapUI / Install4j crashes on installation on Mac 10.6

Hello,

SoapUI 4.6.4 fails to install on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I put a short writeup here: http://pastebin.com/q0j3rrqF
It seems that install4j is the culprit.
The same problem is mentioned here: https://forum.soapui.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=22832.

If you can provide some info on running the version I downloaded and unzipped from a terminal I would appreciate it. Every other post on the net is about running automated tests from command line. I want to launch the mac gui of the main application from the command line. Tried this, didn't work:

$ sh bin/soapui.sh
bin/soapui.sh: line 43: [: too many arguments

    Not exactly sure. But, can you try without a space in your directory name?
    Remove space in below path
    /Users/me/Documents/mac soapui/SoapUI-4.6.4

    It works!! Thank you very much.

    So Install4j is broken, but Mac users can run it manually by unzipping the archive, open a terminal, then
    $ cd SoapUI-4.6.4
    $ sh bin/soapui.sh
