Failed to launch item - Project Zomboid Demo (Groups : Desura : Forum : Application Linux : Failed to launch item - Project Zomboid Demo) Locked

Hello everyone,
I'm using Ubuntu 13.04.
Today I installed Desura to get Project Zomboid Demo. After installing it I right-clicked and launched it but it shows me this error:
Failed to launch item.
Failed to read
[usr/local/src/desura/common/project-zomboid/projectzomboid.sh]:
Couldnt open the file
[usr/local/src/desura/common/project-zomboid/projectzomboid.sh]
I tried the "Verify files" option, but nothing happens.
I also tried re-installing Project Zomboid Demo.
What should I do?

I have a similar issue, but will open a new thread since I have done a bit of research on it and it's quite a bit of text.
Download the game with a browser from Desura instead of using the client.
