[support] unable to install some modules properly

[jo]

dear list,

as there was no reply for my last issue i posted i hope i do not ask too-easy-to-solve-on-your-own-issues..because -at least to me- it seems i cannot find very much about this:

after i put the project of the views-installation in a future-holding-queue, i thought, all other modules would install without any problems, but then i found the pathauto-module and tried to install,  but it didn't work, too - it depends on the token-module, but if i copy the token-folder in sites/all/modules, there is no entry in /admin/build/modules, and when i set the status of all two token-entries in phpmyadmin to 1, there is no chance to get in /admin/build/modules again..

i must admit that i really deleted a lot of folders of modules (especially views and the image-modules) and copied them in again and again, did some update.phps with and without success, but that was because views wouldn't install and so i don't think views doesn't install because i deleted it often..

so, to put it in a few words:

what could be the reason, my drupal-install doesn't like all modules (yes, they are the right ones for 6.6) and how can i change this?

thank you for reading and

regards
