On the Amazon app store, a paid app is given away free every day.
I'm always downloaded these free apps, but unfortunately about 50% of
them do NOT install. And when they do install, a smaller percentage don't run on our PE.

I'm curious why about half of the apps do not install.

Let's take todays free app: Everlands
Try installing this free app. It will not install.

Looking at the logs, I see that it's failing because it cannot open secure container: smdl2tmp1

E/PackageHelper(26153): Failed to create secure container smdl2tmp1
E/DefContainer(26153): Failed to create container smdl2tmp1

Anyone have any ideas what smdl2tmp1 is? A directory? A File?

Maybe we should use this thread to examine the free apps that are available daily that DO not install and try to brainstorm what's going on. I betcha we'll be able to at least get a few of these app installable... maybe
