Go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications. Select the 'All' tab, then select Market from the list. Select 'Uninstall Updates', confirm when it asks you to, then try downloading an app again.

Hey guys, I have a problem when installing new apps or doing updates.
When I try to install new apps (angry birds Rio) it will download but not install, it has done this on other apps too. I have deleted apps to make room and done a factory reset and its still not working.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried to wipe the marked data from application settings? Don't know if it's going to help, but it's no harm in trying
Does it give you an error message when it gets to the install process? You could try unmounting the SD card temporarily before you try installing apps, this solved the only problem I've had installing apps from the Market.

Settings - applications - all aplications, locate marked and wipe all the data. Next time you start marked you should have to agree with terms as you did the first time.
Tried that mate, still not working

I've had this happen in the past and the only way I could get around this issue was to delete the file 'Smdl2tmp1.asec'
To do this, connect your phone to a PC and use Windows Explorer to search for the file. You will need to set Windows Explorer to read hidden files for it to find this file.
Hope this works for you too.

If the apps download but don't install you can install them manually. Using any file manager head to /cache/download , here you will see all the apps you tried installing recently. They don't have useful names but the icons should help you remember what they are.
Find the package and install it manually.

Right I sorted it. I took out the sd card and it installed it for some reason

Try wiping the data for Market. This can be done in Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All

Go to settings->Language & Input->Language; and select English US (or whichever u prefer). And Market should work after that.
I had the same problem when I switched to ICS rom (by texasice). Found this solution after a lot of searching and it definitely worked for me.
Btw, no other solution worked for me (clearing cache, dalvik..).
I always get the msg "Authentications required. Please log into your Google account." :-(
P.D I use the Market Enabler
hi all,
I got a problem. I am now using Nexus 7 with 4.2 (multi user support)
I have 2 users on my Nexus 7. I want to install the same APK on both users. I can install the APK on the primary user successfully. However, for the 2nd user, whenever I finished the APK installation, it states the APK is not installed.
Is there any settings or tick allowing me to install APK on the 2nd user?
Many thanks

You are doing it wrong...
When you set up a second user, they have their own account. On that user, open the Play store.
Under options, click Add account and enter the account you use on your main user.
Uncheck all the Synch options.
Now you will see all the apps you installed on the main user.
Just click Install on all the ones you want the second user to have.
They will install instantly - no download - and a symlink will be set to your main copy.
This way you never have two copies of the same app eating up your space.
At this point you can delete the Play store reference to your main account or just leave it.
Note: Don't use Root with multiuser until someone fixes it. Lag will make the nexus unuseable.

Are you sure you can install 3rd Party on Primary and Secondary users on 4.2.1? I have just tried. Still can't install 3rd Party APK on the Secondary user.
Is there any settings for this?
It worked for me on 4.2.1

Nope

if you sideload the app using your PC through adb it will show up in both the primary and secondary user. I'm not sure if it matters but I would probably make sure you are in the primary when connecting with adb.
I also have this problem. If I use apkextractor the file works in primary user, but when i move it to secondary the apk corrupts
Anyone has this problem?

It's true, transferring the apk from ur computer to your android device using adb will make the apk visible to both the primary and secondary user.
What I did was:
Setup the adb thing (which was a quite an ordeal on it's own).
Then using the push command, transferred my apk to my device.
adb push C:\path\to\file\origianlFileName.apk /sdcard/Download/newFileName.apk
I chose a new filename (MCPE.apk) because the original had spaces and was long and hard to memorize.
The transfer was successful, but when I check to see if it was there, using ASTRO File Manager and also Windows,
the file name was the original file name (what it was called on my computer). Installing it at this point didn't work.
But then I renamed the file (using windows) back to "MCPE.apk" and THEN it installed correctly!!
YAY!!
Also before installing, I made the secondary user a developer, by that weird "Build Number" trick.
Not sure if that has any effect..
I am unable to install apk from my secondary user ,I even tried to rename the apks , I am able to download apps from playstore , the same apks install fine under the primary user , though enabled unknown sources option is greyedout for secondary user and I am not able to enable developer option for the secondary user ( the build tap procedure doesn't seems to work ) , I am on 4.4.2 , did anyone able to get through this ?

I may know the issue.
If you install an APK on the primary user and if you have updated the version of such APK to a newer version before you install the original APK to the Second user account, you will have such problem.
So, make sure to install on both user accounts with same APK.

I got that error about a year ago on my sgs2. At that time it had something to do with the app trying to install on my external SD card. Not sure if that helps you out in this case though.
If i remember correctly i had to do something with permissions in my case.

First I would test it on a different WiFi LAN. I have seen "Content Filtering Software" mess with software packages before. Try local coffee shop WiFi. Second, if you have a custom ROM, check if others have the same issue.

Okay, I've had this issue off and on for several weeks. This past week, it's been ON and nothing, and I mean none of the prescriptions I found worked.
FINALLY I tried one more self prescribed pill.
In Titanium Backup I first thought I could freeze the app and try installing as if it were new. That didn't work because the Play Store still sees that app but as disabled.
Still in TiBu, I did a Backup>Verify>Uninstall, went to Play and VOILA!! I was able to download again without the error.
I too had this issue. I could not even pull my 4.2.2 update...
I am Belgian and I bought my Nexus on the German Play Store. When I used the VPN settings I used to order the device, it works; if I don't, it doesn't. Ergo, there had to be some configuration on the phone indicating it was "supposed" to be used on the German play store.
So I unlocked the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and flashed the factory image on it. You can get these from Google, search for it and you will find them. XDA does not allow me to post a link because I don't have sufficient posts...
Anyway, now it works perfectly. No problems at all.
If you have this problem, this is the way to go!
I just resolved my problem "Package file is invalid."
Download Hideman VPN from Play Store, Market or Google it "Hideman VPN.apk" --> Install --> Open --> Tap Connect and enjoy downloading million of apps again without getting any type of error.

Same Thing here I did try downloading and installing from the cell network without WiFi and that did work. But it sucks that cant use WiFi. Clearly there are issues with 4.3.10!
Hideman VPN Worked for me on my WIFI but there is something going on today with play store/play services. There is another forum of 497 errors which I had before I ended up here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44367779
