I can confirm that I get this exact behavior. If the symlink exists and points to a non-existent file then it fails silently.

It silently fails to install if the symlink at the destination is dead. Steps to reproduce:

- Deinstall shell support if it is installed
- run

       cd /usr/local/bin
       ln -s /I/Do/NO/EXIST mate

- Try and install shell support. It will silently fail.

This will probably be the scenario for most TM1 users who simply replace TM1 with TM2, as now the old mate symlink points to a non-existing file.
