Ubuntu extracting SFX “No such file or directory”

I ran into a problem this morning trying to get a IE10 VM from Microsoft to extract and install.

bash: ./IE10.Win7.For.LinuxVirtualBox.part1.sfx: No such file or directory

It turns out that the sfx files require 32bit libraries to extract, so you have to install the following libraries:

aptitude install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386

You can then run the sfx file and it will work

./IE10.Win7.For.LinuxVirtualBox.part1.sfx 

RAR SFX archive
