Cannot install or upgrade due to many redirect

Hi,
For quite a time it is not possible for me to install or upgrading by download. The cmsms-2.2.4-install.php file or it's
predecessors do cause a fatal ERR http 500.
It does not matter wich browser I use. The server has a php70 installation, but also on older php55 I had the same problem.
Installation by Softaculous does work, but not on upgrades. I hoped the php70 installation would solve this but unfortunately not.
A test with redirect-checker showed a lot of redirects for this file.
Please help!

Regards, Paul van der Putten
