Hi Isaac,

you'are talking about ssh and tar.gz packages so i suppose your site is
on a Unix-Like machine...
You have two options:
1) unpack dummy.4.1.6.tar.gz in your dir called TYPO3 and then unpack
typo3_src.4.1.6.tar.gz one dir level higher than your dir TYPO3 (cd ..).
Create in TYPO3/typo3conf/ the file ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL. It MUST work.

2) unpacking both packages in your dir called TYPO3. Remove symbolic
link typo3_src pointing to ../typo3_src-4.1.6 and create a new link
pointing to typo3_src-4.1.6 (ln -s typo3_src-4.1.6 typo3_src).
Create in TYPO3/typo3conf/ the file ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL. It MUST work.

This because package dummy.4.1.6.tar.gz contains the symbolic link
"typo3_src" pointing to "../typo3_src-4.1.6", so it "expects" typo3
source to be in a dir 1 level "higher" than dummy.

Sorry for my poor english :-(
Hope this helps.
Bye!
