This mostly happens if the install tool cannot write its session file into 
typo3temp.

Make sure that the folder is writeable for the webserver.

Create a backup of the database and then directly upgrade the sources to the 
latest 4.5 (I think this is 4.5.32) sources (the folders t3lib/ and typo3/).
After that, delete all files below typo3temp/ and all typo3conf/temp_* 
files.

Once you did that, you should have PHP sources that are compatible with at 
least PHP version 5.2-5.4.
Then you can try to login into the install tool and to upgrade the 
installion.

Best regards
