[TYPO3-english] Fatal error on upgrading from 6.1.7 to 6.2.0beta5

[Sergio Catalá]

Markus,

I did that as you suggested, just symlink typo3_src to the core placed 
in the root folder. And the original problem I had with 6.2.0beta5 
reappeared. I saw what was causing this: in our company we maintain 
typo3 cores inside a folder under typo3conf/ext/050_core and Typo3 is 
able to recognize now we have several cores. I just removed them and at 
least was able to see a nice blank page in the Install tool page: 
typo3/sysext/install/Start/Install.php

No error description this time.

Regards,
Sergio
