IIRC, a busy file is like a busy device; there is an flock() call to that file already; ie, an application is locking/using it already and doesn't want another to do so. Just to check: were you done downloading the installer when you tried to execute the installer? Are you editing it with some stupid program who would feel like flocking it?
Also try "sh ./RegnumOnlineInstall_32" rather than using the executable bit for scripts subsytem sometimes it's messed up.
