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.

    Hello to Everyone,

    I have a Nokia Lumia 830 that I love.  I have had it for about a year.  I never had this problem before.  The strange thing about this is that I was out last night and I had download and installed an App before midnight eastern DST U.S. and it worked.  After midnight I tried another App and it failed with this error code.  So what could I have done wrong?  I have plenty of free memory and I have tried downloading via cell network as well as WiFi.

    I wish that Microsoft would get it together and start pushing for their phones.  I dislike all of the others.

    Why are you posting a question as reply to the answer to the question you are asking ?

    App download and install now working.  Must have been a Microsoft server issue.  Thank you for fixing the problem.

    Mine is now fixed after I got in contact with Microsoft techs and they guided me through downloading the Microsoft recovery tool. It took a long time but I just fixed up the 2nd phone and will soon work on the 3rd one.
