Hi Joachim, I had such problems if my XML file is invalid. Than I get immediately the 'installed:' text and can click install again, without any change. Also I would really recommend to reset your toolshed. These "white ghosts" can have unpredictable effects.
If you can upload your tools to the test tool shed I can try to install it debug it. Please make sure that you run the latest Galaxy central version. Greg and Dave invested a lot of time to get rid of "white ghosts". But these changes are only in central. Cheers, Bjoern > Still having a hard time and some strange situations.
