have you problems with your config-file?
have a look into typo3conf/localconf.php
this is the file where the list of installed extensions is handled.
Sometimes I noticed some strange entries in that file.
try to find the line with all the extensions.

the EM seems to try to find '//' as start of a comment in that line, but 
got confused if some lines include an URl with http://www....
maybe there are some other confusing strings

it may help to clean that file by hand: remove line-comments. delete 
duplicate asignments, as the EM/Install-tool just adds some further lines.
