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.

    Welcome in the wrong Microsoft club

    If by club you mean this site, then this is actually the best 'club' to be in if you're looking for an answer.

    If you mean Microsoft as a whole is the wrong club, then you're not helping anyone here that's looking for answers. After all, this site is called "answers".

    Back ontopic. Am installing the second app update through my regular dataconnection right now, will keep you guys posted.

    In case it makes any difference, before I did my last successful app update install I:

    • cancelled (not pause) all downloads that had been started (in other words: cleared the "downloads" screen)
    • disabled WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth etc., all except the basic data connection
    • rebooted the Phone (keep the power button pressed for a few seconds until it asks to slide down to turn it off, then do so and start it again)

      all previously disabled services should still be disabled when it reboots

    • entered my sim password
    • went immediately to the store and started only 1 download
    • wait for it, takes much longer without WiFi
    • switched to this site a couple of times and loaded a few pages (that didn't interfere with a successful download)

    voila, it installed

    I can confirm successful install of two app updates in a row using ONLY my cellular data connection, no other data connections (nor Bluetooth. NFC etc.). My cellular data connection is at medium strength.

    It almost seems as if there's some relation between a successful install and the speed with which the update is arriving on the Phone.

    These two updates would not install previously over WiFi.

    The first app I updated in this manner was Whatsapp (6Mb), second was HERE Transit (8Mb).

    Installed them one by one.

    Edit:

    Installed the 3rd app update (HERE drive beta @ 9Mb) through WiFi without any problem. Possibly the issue has been resolved, or I just got lucky this time, in any case, Xbox Marketplace still mentions an issue with app updates for Windows Phone.
