Recently almost all demo/sample projects have been undeployable... (my own project installs fine..)

Last one was schimanski's mapviewer... I have just updated few libs that have new versions.. and that mapviewer just contains Core(1.11) and HTTP (1.03)

Any ideas???

pkg: /data/local/tmp/MapViewer3.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]

Restarting ADB Server may solve this problem.
Tools - Restart ADB Server. Device serial: emulator-5554

Edit1:

It seems that "Can install to external storage" somehow causes this... just looked full LogCat and without "Can install to external storage" app did install...
"ASEC file '/mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec' currently exists - destroy it first! (Address already in use)"
Mayby my virtual SD card is bad..?

I had this error twice recently, I don't know why it appears.
To overcome it in the AVD Manager, I needed to remove this Emulator and create a new one.

Best regards.

Maybe some crash during installation and that then poor file just stands there,.. anyway, I removed it using ADB shell commands...

I get this error cropping up when using the emulator. Unticking the 'Install to external SD Card' option resolves it for me too

Erel mentions this feature is relevant for 2.2 and above so that's worth checking
