It is impossible to install the program on Windows - errors.... Android won't install Google apps, can't set default folder

Hello.

There is probably not a single computer user who has not encountered errors when installing and uninstalling programs. Moreover, such procedures have to be performed quite often.

In this relatively short article, I would like to dwell on the most common reasons why it is impossible to install a program on Windows, as well as provide a solution for each problem.

1. “Broken” program (“installer”)

I won’t lie if I say that this reason is the most common! Broken - this means the program installer itself was damaged, for example, due to a virus infection (or when treated with an antivirus - often when antiviruses treat a file, they “cripple” it (make it unlaunchable)).

In addition, nowadays programs can be downloaded from hundreds of resources on the Internet, and I must note that not all resources have high-quality programs. It is possible that you have a broken installer - in this case, I recommend downloading the program from the official website and restarting the installation.

2. Incompatibility of the program with Windows OS

Very common reason the impossibility of installing the program, given that most users do not even know which Windows OS they have installed ( we're talking about not only about Windows versions: XP, 7, 8, 10, but also about 32 or 64 bit).

The fact is that most programs for 32bits systems will also work on 64bits systems (but not vice versa!). It is important to note that the category of programs such as antiviruses, disk emulators and the like: it is not worth installing on an OS that is not of its own capacity!

3. NET Framework

Another very common problem is a problem with the NET Framework package. It is a software platform for the compatibility of various applications written in different programming languages.

There are several different versions of this platform. By the way, for example, by default, NET Framework version 3.5.1 is installed in Windows 7.

Important! Each program needs its own version of the NET Framework (and not always the newest one). Sometimes, programs require a specific version of the package, and if you don’t have it (and only a newer one is available), the program will throw an error...

How can I find out my version of Net Framework?

In Windows 7/8, this is quite easy to do: to do this, you need to go to the control panel at: Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features.

4. Microsoft Visual C++

A very common package that has been used to write many applications and games. By the way, most often errors of the “Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error...” type are associated with games.

There are many reasons for this kind of error, so if you see a similar error, I recommend that you read:

5.DirectX

This package is used mainly by games. Moreover, games are usually “tailored” for a specific version of DirectX and to run it you will need this version. Most often, the required version of DirectX is included on the disc along with the games.

To find out the version of DirectX installed in Windows, open the “Start” menu and in the “Run” line enter the command “DXDIAG” (then the Enter button).

6. Installation location...

Some program developers believe that their program can only be installed on the “C:” drive. Naturally, if the developer did not provide for it, then after installation on another drive (for example, on “D:” - the program refuses to work!).

First, completely remove the program, and then try to install it as default;

Do not put Russian characters in the installation path (they often cause errors).

C:\Program Files (x86)\ - correct

C:\Programs\ - not correct

7. Lack of DLLs

There are such system files with DLL extension. These are dynamic libraries that contain required functions for running programs. Sometimes it happens that in the OS Windows required there is no dynamic library (for example, this can happen when installing various “assemblies” of Windows).

The simplest solution is to look at which file is missing and then download it on the Internet.

binkw32.dll is missing

8. Trial period (ended?)

Many programs allow you to use them for free only for a certain period of time (this period is usually called a trial period - so that the user can be convinced of the need for this program before paying for it. Moreover, some programs are quite expensive).

Users often use a program with a trial period, then delete it, and then want to install it again... In this case, there will either be an error, or, more likely, a window will appear asking the developers to buy this program.

Solutions:

Reinstall Windows and install the program again (usually this helps to reset the trial period, but the method is extremely inconvenient);

Use a free analogue;

Buy the program...

9. Viruses and antiviruses

Not often, but it does happen that an Anti-Virus interferes with installation by blocking a “suspicious” installer file (by the way, almost all anti-viruses consider installer files to be suspicious and always recommend downloading such files only from official sites).

Solutions:

If you are confident in the quality of the program, disable the antivirus and try installing the program again;

It is possible that the program installer was corrupted by a virus: then you need to download it;

10. Drivers

11. If all else fails...

It also happens that there are no visible and obvious reasons due to which it is impossible to install a program on Windows. The program works on one computer, but not on another with exactly the same OS and hardware. What to do? Often in this case it is easier not to look for the error, but to simply try to restore Windows or simply reinstall it (although I myself am not a supporter of such a solution, but sometimes the time saved is more valuable).

That's all for today, good luck with Windows everyone!

Many users of gadgets running Android OS have found themselves in an annoying situation when, while installing a new application, the system displays a message that you cannot install this application to the default folder. Verbatim:

Failed to install the application to the default folder. Check your device's folder system and try again. If the problem persists, try fixing it yourself. (Error code - 20)

The error can appear even when there is enough free memory on the phone, smartphone or tablet. This often happens due to the fault of Android developers. This error may occur, for example, after the release of the next update package for Android. However, there may be other reasons.

In any case, something needs to be done about this. This article will help you get rid of the “annoying” message and continue to enjoy the stable operation of your Android phone, smartphone or tablet. In some cases it helps, instead internal memory Android.

Error installing the application, failed to install the application on Android.

So, what happened happened, and in this case there is no point in clutching your head. The problem needs to be resolved, if the error “Failed to install the application” appears, you have the following options:

  • The simplest (so to speak, for dummies), but 90% effective way– this is a banal reboot of the device or Soft Reset (In the most difficult situations you will need Hard Reset). During long-term operation of the system, various errors accumulate in it, and the RAM is overloaded with running processes. In addition, one of the services running in the background can create a conflict situation. A reboot will clear the RAM and clear accumulated errors. As a result, the application should start without errors. If not, look further.
  • Another common reason is the lack of free memory on the phone or flash drive to install programs. To fix this problem, first, check whether the required amount of memory is free (it is better to calculate with a reserve). For the cleaning random access memory You can try and reboot. If there is still not enough space to install the program (application), go to the “Settings” menu, select “Applications” and delete those that you do not use, or erase others unnecessary files. For example, you can copy photos and videos from the device to a computer or laptop and delete them on Android.
  • The error may also occur due to the incorrect operation of the Google application store itself - the Play Market. To eliminate it, you need to again enter the “Settings” menu, select “Applications”, click on Play Store. Using the menu you need to clear the cache, erase all data and delete everything Latest updates. Next, reboot the device and try again to install the required application.
  • If the problem described above is still related to the operating system, then you have 3 options: roll back to previous version, wait for the next update to come out or install a different Android OS build. The latter method is not advisable if the device is under warranty.
  • Sometimes, an application installation error on Android may appear due to synchronization problems. If there are any, then you need to clear the cache, delete data and updates in the Market, Google Services and Google Services Framework. Next, in the synchronization settings, uncheck all the checkboxes and reboot the device. We set the settings as before and reboot again. After the update the problem should go away.
  • It would also be a good idea to check Android for viruses. Make sure you have it installed and do a full scan.
  • By trying each of these methods, you will most likely get rid of this error. However, if a miracle does not happen, which is unlikely, then you always have the last option - contacting a service center or warranty service.

    Questions and comments about the article are welcome.

    Development information technologies does not stand still, it happens in rapid leaps. And the more complex operating systems are released. Therefore, it is not surprising that developers can get confused and create an update that conflicts with the hardware or simply makes the system unusable.


    Although, in most cases with such errors, the users themselves are to blame. To be more precise, their illiteracy. In this article we'll talk about what to do when the error “The application cannot be installed in the default folder” appears.

    For newbies

    The very first recommendation that any technical support will provide is to reboot the device. And it doesn’t matter at all what manufacturer it is from and what model is used. If an error occurs, you must first try to fix it by restarting your computer. It is worth noting that during long-term continuous operation of the equipment, errors may accumulate and many third-party processes may be loaded. Therefore, installing a new application may lead to a conflict between running programs and the content itself. On reboot operating system The device memory is cleared and its performance increases, increasing the chances of installing the application. Therefore, the user can avoid receiving a message that indicates that the application cannot be installed in the default folder.

    Memory

    The most common reason for the message that the application cannot be installed in the default folder is the lack of free space in permanent memory the device itself. Therefore, you need to do the following:

    1. Go to Settings - Applications.
    2. Select old applications that are no longer needed and delete them. You should be extremely careful to clean the device of useful system programs and utilities.
    3. Go to Settings - Memory and check the available free space. If it is enough, then the message about the impossibility of installing the application in the default folder will disappear.

    "Market"

    It is worth noting that theoretically the previous method also includes a method for solving the problem, which will be discussed now. If after release free space On the memory card, the device again writes that it cannot install the application in the default folder, it is quite possible that the cause of the problem is Play Market. To fix it, you need to go to your phone settings and select “Applications”. Next, you should find “Market” in the list that opens and click on it.

    After its settings are found, you need to click “Clear cache” and “Erase data”. Then you can try again to install the required program. If this method is ineffective, it is suggested to “conjure” with “Market”. In the settings, click on the “Uninstall updates” button. Then you will need to restart the device and launch the Market again. You can then try to install the application again. If this method also does not help, then you should use another option.

    Updating the phone When the user once again receives a message that he cannot install an application in a folder, how can he find the reason? Recently, this problem has become relevant. This is related to the version of the operating system. If the OS has been updated or purchased a new version, there are several ways out of this situation:

    1. Roll back the operating system version to an earlier one.
    2. Wait for the new update to come out.
    3. Install the OS of a different build.

    Whatever option you choose, to implement it you should first seek help from professionals, since if the device is unsuccessfully flashed, you will end up with an ordinary “brick”.

    Try everything

    When looking for solutions to problems with technical devices It’s hard to do without advice from users who have gone through this. Recommendations from different users may vary. For example, some argue that it is necessary to remove and reinstall the memory card. You can try to remove applications on your device using your computer rather than the built-in programs. In addition, you need to check your Internet connection or simply download the required application several times in a row.

    Last resort

    Already from the name of the subheading it becomes clear that this is the final one. In some cases, installation problems may occur due to unsuccessful synchronization of the device with the account. Let's say when such a process was interrupted unsuccessfully. To correct this problem you should do the following:

    1. Go to Settings - Applications.
    2. It is worth paying attention to three programs: Google Play Market, Google Services Play and Google Services Framework.
    3. The following commands are executed for them: “Stop”, “Delete updates”, “Delete data”.
    4. Go to your account synchronization settings and delete all marks there.
    5. Reboot the device.
    6. Restore the synchronization settings and restart the gadget once again.

    Then you can launch Google Play. At first, the update process takes a long time, but after this, as a rule, the problem disappears. What to do if this method turns out to be ineffective, and the message about the impossibility of installing the application in the default folder appears again. In this case, there is no other choice but to wait for the release of an update that can fix the error, or you will have to reinstall the system completely. True, there will always be Alternative option. In this case it is to give mobile device for warranty service so that specialists can sort out the problem. Finally, you can change the default installation location of the application. To do this, you will have to visit Settings, go to the Memory section and re-set the mark from internal memory to external SD card.

    The "Documents" folder is the default folder for all files created in the package programs Microsoft Office. You can choose a different default working folder.

    Note: In Office 2007, the Documents folder is called My Documents.

    Note: The folder selection will only apply to the one used in this moment application. For example, if you change the default working folder for Word, PowerPoint will still default to the Documents folder.

    Open the File tab and select Options.

    In the Create databases section to the right of the Working directory field, click the Browse button and navigate to the folder where you want to save database files by default Access data(or enter the path to it in the field).

    Note: In Word, you can also click Browse and navigate to the folder you want.

    Open the File tab and select Options.

    Open the General section, and under InfoPath Options, click the More Options button.

    Open the Design tab.

    Next to the Folder for C# and Visual Basic projects box, click Browse to specify the path to the new default folder, and then click Open.

    If Visio has a default working folder for a specific file type, the search for files of that type will start in that folder. If Microsoft Visio can't find a specific file in the specified folder, it searches for drawings and templates in the My Documents folder and searches for stencils in the My Documents\My Shapes folder. You can also search for add-ons in the Documents and Settings\username folder.

    Note: You can create multiple folders for each file type. In this case, the first folder will be the default working folder. If the first folder is unavailable (for example, a temporarily unavailable network folder), Microsoft Visio uses the next folder in the list. Descriptions of the report properties saved in these folders are available in the Reports dialog box. For links to more information about report properties, see the See Also section.

    Some of the content in this section may not apply to some languages.

    The My Documents folder, which is located at the root of the C drive by default, is the default folder for all documents and other files created in applications Microsoft package Office 2007: You can rename the My Documents folder and also choose a different default working folder.

    Change the My Documents folder name

    Note: You may need to close the Save Document dialog box and open it again for your changes to appear in the My Locations panel and the Save In list.

    Selecting a different default working folder

    Note: The folder selection will only apply to the application currently in use. For example, if you change the default working folder for Word, PowerPoint will still default to the My Documents folder.
