[Q] Nexus 7 does not have Google Play app installed

A Nexus 7 tablet having android 4.4.2, does not have the default Google Play(neither older Android market) app installed.How is that possible?
I tried downloading *.apk file from here and even here But did not work. When I tried executing the apk file, it did install the playstore app it said, but after that when tried to run the app, it just did not start or work as expected.
For other *.apk files for Google store app that i downloaded, it gave errors saying Error saying - "There was a problem parsing the package". It just did not work for many Google store apk's different versions i tried downloading and installing/running?
I tried installing these below apk files for installing the Google playstore:
com.google.android.gms-4.4.48+(1150368-038).apk - Gave error parsing package.
com.android.vending-4.4.22.apk - Did no work after install, hanged and stopped responding
com.android.vending-4.6.16.apk - Installed the app, but after install, did not run as expected
com.android.vending-4.8.22.apk - Installed the app, but after install, did not run as expected
How can one install Google play store on this Nexus 7?
Would there be any correct/compatible *.apk for Google play store available which would work?
As found in some searching online, I tried checking in settings and elsewhere to see if any default apps disabled setting is checked but could not find any such thing?

Are you using a custom rom or stock?
In the first case, you have to flash gapps in recovery, in the second they should ship with the OTA update.

Thank you. This worked for me AFTER I removed my SD card first.

glad I could help.

Can't install Google Services / Google Play on Fire HD 10+ via FTB, "size must be positive" error.

I have a Fire HD 10+ running OS version 7.3.2.1
I downloaded FTB v 26.1 and follow the instructions. Enable developer options, disable OTA updates.
I can install custom launchers and everything seems to work fine.
However, when I try to install Google Services, it downloads the 4 files but when it comes to installation I get an error for all installations. It's a long error message but basically says "Error: size must be positive."
The most common solution seems to be deleting the Google Services folder and restoring it (which I tried to no success), as well as re-installing FTB or resetting the tablet. I tried it on a different computer, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thank you.

You can try to install Google services manually.
