Trying to install older version of Opera from opera site, error

I am trying 9.64 which I downloaded from opera.com (Arch version and "Default package"). I ran install.sh as root, it installs to defaults dirs, and I keep getting this everytime I run the opera binary:

└─> opera 
/usr/bin/opera: line 240: /usr/lib/opera/9.64/opera: cannot execute binary file
/usr/bin/opera: line 240: /usr/lib/opera/9.64/opera: Success

The line 240 is the last line of the opera binary and it shows:

# Running Opera
exec "${OPERA_BINARYDIR}opera" "$@"

Thanks for any help

Is OPERA_BINARYDIR set? Is it a script variable or environmental one? Have you tried 'opera www.google.com'?

Is OPERA_BINARYDIR set? Is it a script variable or environmental one?

To see whether it's a script variable, search for OPERA_BINARYDIR inside the opera binary.

To see whether it's an environmental variable, run `env` at the Terminal and see if it shows up.  You can find it using `env | grep OPERA_BINARYDIR`.
