It has nothing to do with md5(), it's a cookie thing.

I did some packet sniffing and it reveals that IE behaves odd with one
of my websites.

Logging into the install tool triggers a POST request, which also
contains the install tool cookie:

POST /typo3/install/index.php HTTP/1.1
Cookie: Typo3InstallTool_key=bc4846e59ba12d12ad3cccdde1971493

On the mentioned website, the Cookie is never sent by IE and that's why
install tool does not work.
