In the cases I seen that normally is a file permission issue.

That being said, check with your host that your files are writable and that proper ownership is attributed
all files are writable hier is my my package folder:
backups 0755
BoardIcons 0777
temp 0777
.htaccess 0644
index.php 0644
installed.list 0777
need i change or is so right with the permission??
or what you mein? ::)
an dwhat you mean with "proper ownership is attributed"?
thanks!!
Usually, when the mod says that it did a clean installation -- but nothing actually happens (none of the file edits were actually DONE)
it is because of a chown (file ownership) issue... which REPORTS that the files can be edited, but rejects the edits when they are submitted.
This is, primarily, a host configuration issue...
setting ALL files and directories to 777 SHOULD fix the issue, but is not terribly secure.
Ask your host for help. They will know what to do with that ;)
Where's the "why"

If the file is not writable, SMF lets you know that (because PHP returns "is_writable" as false). AFAIK, this "silent skip of edits" only happens due to ownership issues because PHP thinks the file can be edited while in fact it can't.
Of course, if a file/folder has permissions set to 777, it doesn't matter who the owner is :P
