root install results in incorrect permissions

Did a root install of l_python35_p_2017.0.028 on my Scientific Linux 7.2 box, but files in /opt/intel/intelpython35//bin are only executable by root:

-rwxr--r--. 2 root root    3258 Aug 15 01:06 activate

so no other user can use it.

Hello,
Could you check 'umask' setting on your system?
umask
sudo umask
Right now you can change permissions by root "chmod -R 755 /opt/intel/intelpython35/bin" command

root's umask is:

# umask

Hi Orion,

I'm the engineering manager for Intel Python. I wanted to follow up with you to let you know that we're working to root-cause the issue. Will get back to you as soon as we find out why you may see incorrect permissions.

Thank you,

Sergey

Hello Orion,

Thanks again for using our product! Upon further investigation, we were able to reproduce the error on our end and found that it had to do with the way the binaries were being processed for the installer team. This has been fixed for our Update 1, and that version will be released to the public very soon.

I've taken to simply installing the packages directly using the conda package manager via the intel channel.  So I'm all set.

Hello Ziv and Orion,

I have verified that this problem has been resolved in our Update 1 distribution, which you can download here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-distribution-for-python. Thanks.
