Application not installed error (root explorer)

I am trying to install APK's that I deleted. I moved the copied APK's from the SD card to the system/App file and tried to install through root explorer but I keep getting error (application not installed)? I have reset permissions and tried again but same error, any help?
For future reference?
If u want to change for example the camera app /apk you have to place the new apk where the old one was instead of installing ...if thats your problem ^^
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
System APK's or APK's in use (loaded at startup) cannot be installed, you would have to copy and paste, or push the file to the location which would overwrite the old one if the file name is the same.

[Solution] Restore "old" market

When market is updated itself to new version we have problems.
Mostly timeouts, lags, etc.
There is solution that can revert update.
In fact, market is 2 applications:
vending.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
To use "old" market you need only delete that 2 applications and install old market.
Deleting updater is necessary, because it will download new version right after you use old one 1st time.
To remove system apps you need root and application, ie "root app remover".
After you delete them just install old market (zip attached).
Unzip it on SD card and install via file manager or easy installer.

If file manager isn't asking for root, I'd try another file manager (like root file manager from the app store). Try force closing the application prior to removing it. Or you could always try Titanium Backup which has a un-install feature for almost all applications:

Recover file manager

Hello, I have a problem with file manager. I deleted both file managers by accident. How can I bring them back now?
OnePlus File Manager and Google Files are available on Playstore. Whereas the other one you may get the APK and install it.
