Hi Phil,

While that seems to fix the session / cookie issue, it doesn't fix the 
fact that I can no longer gain Install Tool access in 4.2.10. Typo3 does 
not seem to look at the ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL file at all. The problem is 
somewhat weird. I have many Typo3 installations on my server. So I did a 
lookup on the server to find out where was the NO_ACCESS message (You 
know, the *The Install Tool is locked....*). I know it should be in 
typo3/install/index.php. So I tried to get rid of the protection for a 
little moment (just to be able to do what I need to do), and it doesn't 
even seem to use this file... On every installation, I changed the work 
"locked" to "unavailable"...  I'm still getting the "is locked" message. 
I'm not using any kind of proxy, I flushed my local cache, I restarted 
Apache, so it shouldn't be... (I suspected that I might have a 
cross-link between all my typo3 versions, which I proved it wasn't the 
case...

So how do I make the Install Tool work again?

Thanks,
