Yeah, and it gets better...
I just spent a couple of hours figuring out why the install script for STAR-CCM+ 16.06.008 was exiting with a non-zero exit code, with zero output.
After finding the log file (buried in $EBROOTSTARMINCCMPLUS/16.06.008/STAR-CCM+16.06.008/STAR-CCM+16.06.008_InstallLog.log (yes, the version subdir is there twice...), and mostly seeing Status: SUCCESSFUL, I was even more confused.
There was one Status: ERROR though, in the disk space check step....
So it seems that setting $CHECK_DISK_SPACE to OFF skips the disk space check, but also marks that step as failed, and hence the install script exists with a non-zero exit code. 🤦
So to fix: either don't set $CHECK_DISK_SPACE (if that works, I think it's only required when installing to an NFS mounted filesystem), or totally ignore the exit code of the install script and fully rely on the sanity check done by EasyBuild...

I disabled this again, since it was causing trouble.
People can still resort to CHECK_DISK_SPACE=OFF eb ... when installing STAR-CCM+, if the disk space check is causing trouble.
