What does the error code c101b000 represent?

I was getting this error code as I was attempting to install an application from the Marketplace. The application will download perfectly, but when it tries to install the application, it would continuously give me this same error code. This occurred on multiple application installation attempts, so I know it is not a problem with one specific application that I am attempting to install. I am completely lost on what in the world this might be. I need help here.

    No one here has a magic wand to fix this problem.

    As you see many others have the same thing happening.

    Sit back and wait till MS is finished with whatever they are doing.

    The error code and the solution is the same, regardless of the year.

    As already posted just two messages above yours, this is a problem with the store on Microsoft's side which reoccurs every few weeks. Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing anyone can do except wait for it to be fixed by MS. There is no point in performing any resets or, God forbid, a complete firmware reinstall. This is not an issue with any device, it's on the store servers.

    I got it too today, maybe just for today, hope they'll fix it.

    Lumia 710

    OS Version : 7.10.8773.98

    Tried to installing "NASA Be A Martian", always error at 50%.

    Be it over wifi, trough Zune or cell network.

    And i believe i got more than enough space for that 2MB app.

    Then i try "London 2012", it's the same.

    I am having the same problem.  I had updates on my phone, all good.  I downloaded 2 applications earlier today, and then I am getting the same problem.  About 51% for every app I have tried I am getting the same error code.
