Goutam, I know that I should start plugin-installer from root. I'm starting hp-setup from root. And the problem is, as I've figured, that my /tmp directory is placed on separate partition, mounted with noexec option. Setting noexec on world writable places is good way to do.

I think plugin should extract files to user's home directory if it wants to execute them or at least it should message user, that /tmp/ is mounted with noexec and it would fail.
