[TYPO3-core] RFC #13630: Bug: Status Report reports "Install Tool: disabled" when it is not.

[Moreno Feltscher]

Sorry, but -1 on that.
It was me who provided the patch to get rid of the install tool file  
existence check.
The reason for that: Your patch doesn't take the automatic deletion of the  
install tool after 30 minutes into account and it will always show the  
temporary information, even if the install tool isn't accessible at all.

I will come up with a proper solution ASAP and we can discuss this problem  
further then.

Please also have a look at the mailing list discussion [1] concerning this  
behavior.

Cheers
Moreno
