The development of information technology does not stand still; it occurs 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. This article will 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. When you restart the operating system, the device's memory is cleared, its performance increases, and the chances of installing the application increase. 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 the permanent memory of 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 and clear your 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 freeing up 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 the 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 received an update or a new version has been purchased, there are several ways to get 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 is difficult to do without advice from users who have gone through it. 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 Play Services 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 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 is always an alternative option. In this case, it consists of returning the 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.
If applications are not installed on Android, then the first thing you need to do is restart the device. The error may be caused by a system glitch, which will be fixed when you restart Android.
If after rebooting the programs from the Play Market are still not installed, look for other causes of the problem. We will talk about this further.
This article is suitable for all brands that produce phones on Android 9/8/7/6: Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Meizu, Fly, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Nokia and others. We are not responsible for your actions.
Why is the application not installed on Android?The main reason is the lack of internal memory of the smartphone or tablet. If the phone does not have enough memory, it cannot save the application installation file and install it. There are two ways to fix the problem:
To see where applications are installed, go to the “Memory” section in the settings. At the top there will be an item “Installation location”, when you click on it, a list with available options will appear. In order for applications to be installed on a memory card, you need to select it in this list. In this case, the system will download the installation file and store application data on microSD. The storage location does not matter - both Flash Player and Viber will work equally well from a memory card.
Increase This option is not available on all devices and depends on the shell provided by the smartphone manufacturer.
Another possible reason for the installation error is an unstable Internet connection when downloading the installation file from the Play Market via 3G. Connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot to ensure a normal speed connection.
If the application is installed not from the Play Market, but simply from the Internet in the form of an .apk file, then the reason the system refuses to install it may be incompatibility of the firmware or blocking by the antivirus. It is recommended to install applications only from the Play Market that are suitable for the Android version on your phone/tablet.
In addition to problems with the application, errors in the operation of your Google account may also occur. To fix them, delete your account and add it again.
Increase After deleting your account, restart your smartphone. The next time you turn it on, add your account again and try downloading applications from the Play Market.
The last resort if problems arise with installing applications would be to reset the settings to the factory state or flash the device (relevant for phones with custom rather than official firmware).
How to install applications correctly?Every user should know how to do it on Android in different ways - through the Play Market (Google Play) and the APK file. This allows you to reduce the number of errors when installing programs and makes it possible to choose a more appropriate method for each specific situation. To install an application from the Play Market:
Increase After successful installation, a notification will appear indicating that the application has been installed. Open it to check it's working. Similar steps can be performed on a computer using the Google Play website.
Increase The main condition for installing the program remotely is connecting your phone to Wi-Fi. The application will not be downloaded from Google Play through mobile traffic.
Manual application installationIf you want to install an application from a third-party source rather than from the Play Market, then the first step is to prepare the system.
Increase Now you can download the application's APK file to your computer and transfer it to your phone's memory. You can transfer the file in any way - via USB connection, by mail, via Bluetooth. The main thing is to remember the folder where you sent the APK.

The Documents folder is the default folder for all files created in Microsoft Office programs. 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 application currently in use. 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 Browse and navigate to the default folder where you want to save your Access database files (or type the path to it in the field).
Excel, PowerPoint, Project and Word
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 2007 Microsoft Office applications. You can rename the My Documents folder or select a different working folder default.
Change the My Documents folder nameNote: 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 folderNote: 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.
The error “The application cannot be installed” in Android occurs periodically for all users. How to fix it? We will discuss this in this article and give a couple of working solutions.
After using Android for a long time, the following error may appear in the Google Play Store: “The application cannot be installed due to insufficient memory” or “The application cannot be installed in the default folder.” Due to these errors, you cannot install the application on your Android smartphone or tablet.
Application cannot be installed due to insufficient memoryIf you get this error on Google Play, about insufficient Android memory, although it (memory) seems to be there, then first watch the video that we have attached below.
Firstly, there is much less memory on the device than the manufacturer indicates, and secondly, it is distributed among sections. That is, at the output you can get, for example, from the declared 32Gb only 18 GB. But that’s not all, some manufacturers set aside a separate section only for applications, and a separate section only for photos, videos, audio and other files. Plus, Android requires about 500 MB of free space for the operating system to work correctly; when this limit is reached, you will see an error about low memory. Therefore, the frequent question “there is no memory to install applications, although there is still a lot of it” lies only in a lack of understanding of its distribution.
By the way, when you install an application or game on Android, for example, 40 megabytes in size, it will take up as much as 50-100 MB on the system and over time it can take up even more space!
How to solve the “no memory to install applications” error
Now let's move on to solving the problem “The application cannot be installed in the default folder.”
How to solve the error “The application cannot be installed in the default folder”With the error about the impossibility of installing an application in a folder, things are somewhat more complicated, since there is no exact recipe on how to solve this problem. More precisely, one of the proposed options will work for sure, but you will have to spend a little personal time.
