Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I searched the tickets before posting? yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)?
http://downloads.joomlacode.org/frsrelease/5/9/3/59333/admin-tools.pdf
Joomla! version: 1.5.26
PHP version: 5.3
MySQL version: 5
Host: OVH
Admin Tools version: 2.3 pro

Description of my issue:
I followed all the instructions in the trouble shooting document, and finally after hours, I de-installed the old 2.2.5 version of admin tools, reinstalled the fresh zip 2.3 and it still refuses to install, saying that admintools.php does not exist in tmp.
I'm very sure the path to tmp is correct, the chmod is 755, etc...
The only version that installs correctly is 2.2.5. Life update does not work, installing form the tmp file doe not work, everytime I get a different error with all suggested methods.
You say in the documentation this is a joomla issue, but I only have problems with your extension 2.3 so something must be wrong with it, or I'm overlooking something. I do not know how important this update is, but it would be nice if you could help me out.
Thanks beforehand!

As stated in our release announcement and download page, Admin Tools 2.3.0 is for Joomla! 2.5.1 only. The last available version for Joomla! 1.5 is Admin Tools 2.2.10. We are sunsetting our Joomla! 1.5 support. No new software for Joomla! 1.5 will be released and we will only provide courtesy and limited support for users of Joomla! 1.5 until its official end-of-life in October. After that point in time Joomla! 1.5 will be a completely unsupported platform.
