kext not installing as executable

[megachrist]

When I try and install a kext, for instance VoodooTSCSync.kext

The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/VoodooTSCSync.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.

If I look inside package contents for VoodooTSCSync.kext

-rw-r--r-- 1 pashur wheel 69896 5 Mar 2012 VoodooTSCSync

So it's not executable. This is with 6.5.0 on Mavericks 10.9.2

Confirmed, only effects 8 core kext.

I also encounter with the same problem. What is your suggestion?
Shall I change the permission with chmod?

This will be fixed in the next build of MultiBeast. You can run the following command to fix it if you want:

cd /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo chmod -R 0:0 [COLOR=#3E3E3E]VoodooTSCSync.kext[/COLOR]

it says:

Sorry, yesterday was a rough day, it should be:

sudo chown -R 0:0 [COLOR=#3E3E3E]VoodooTSCSync.kext[/COLOR]

The issue is the ownership is incorrect not the execute bit. That is why it's not installing.
