The .htaccess Maker has two options called Front-end Protection and Back-end Protection. As you can read in the documentation they block direct web access to all .php files except Joomla's index.php files in the root of the site and the administrator folder (front-end and back-end site). As documented, if you have a third party solution which requires direct access to .php files you have to add exceptions for them.
Please do ask the developer of that software to tell you which .php files are used for its operation and add them to the relevant .htaccess Maker exceptions.
Relevant documentation page: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/admin-tools/server-protection.html#determine-required-exceptions
Another issue which may prevent such a tool from running are the options in the Basic Security area. Try disabling them one by one to see if one of them causes a problem. If it's the "Block access from specific user agents" ask the developer of Installatron to tell you which user agent they are using and remove it from the "user agents to block, one per line".
