[Q] Parse Error When Installing APK - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get the following error when attempting to install some (not all) apps:
Code:
parse error "there is a problem parsing the package."
If I then try and install the same app via ADB, I get the following error:
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
Suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

make sure the apk that is downloaded hasn't been corrupted. Check md5 checksum if that's available. If not, redownload it and try again.

Still getting this error, including when attempting to install the new Google Market.
Any additional ideas as this is very frustrating!
Thanks in advance.

Same here, did anyone else having the same issue?

[Q] Parsing Error On Installing Apps in Android

I am trying to install apps I found on the web, but I am getting a Parse Error "There is a problem parsing the package," each time I try to install it.
I have tried different file explorers, restarting my phone with no luck.
Anybody know how to fix this?
Download the files again using a different browser. Parsing error = file did not download properly.

[Q] package file is invalid

Hello
I am able to download all the apps from the market. But there is only one app I can't download. Adobe Flash Player. Since this app in unavailable in my country, I'm using Market Enabler in order to download it. I used market enabler for other app which is not available in my country, and it has been installed successfully. When I try to get the flash player, my device (MT3G 32B) downloads it, and when it starts installing it suddenly stops, and I get a notification says the installation was unsuccessful. I touch this notification, and I get 2 messages: "Installation error: Package file is invalid", and "Not found: The requested item could not be found". I am sure the reason is not related to the restrection in my country, since I am able to download other unavailable apps with market enabler. I think the reason is loftover files from the apk installation of The flash player. I installed it few times from apk files, but I was not able to use the browser after the installation so I uninstalled it and tried again, and again. I should find a way to remove ALL the leftover files of this app.
May you help me finding and removing these files please?
Thank you!
same problem with my hd2 on android..
every single app i download from the android market gives a "package file is invalid" error..
anyone has a solution to this problem?

Market Issue (NexusHD2 v2.6+Link2sd)

Hi all.
I have a strange issue when i try to install or update an app from google play.
After the download is completed, the installation fails and this message pop up: 'invalid download uri'.
Instead installation from APKs works fine.
Do you know any fix for this?
thanks in advance

Help Please: Can't install certain market apps! ERROR

My Nexus 4 can install some apps but it can't install others, the error I get is package file is invalid but if I get that error and turn off my wifi I can download any app, does anybody know how to fix this? Tried clearing data for play store and framework. Thanks.

The installation package uses a shared directory that does not exist

Hi guys,
Does anyone ever encountered this problem?
Some app on Playstore listed as Not Compatible.
And even when i sideload the app (manually download and install), it gives error like it described in screenshot.
Any clue?
I get a message that it won't run on my rooted device. Did you try older versions?
