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.

    Couldn't find any info on that code, can you check the code to make sure it is correct? Also, is there any message displayed along with the error code?

    Same problem for me here. Exact same error message and code. Tried several apps and all give the same message. So far retrying (maybe 20 times) hasn't been successful. Only bought the phone yesterday - this isn't a great introduction to it :(

     edit: and regardless of the size of the app, it always gives the error code at exactly 50% of the download.

     Someone at MS must know what that code signifies? Google throws up nothing at all apart from these few messages. Thanks.

    Hi Brian Meaney,

    Thank you for your contribution to the forum!

    Are you still experiencing this issue?

    If so, can you please provide us with the information pdonate asked for?

    Have you tried yanking the battery for about a minute and then installing the app again?

    Thanks in advance for your reply!

    Kind Regards,

    Silvia B.

    I was eventually able to install apps through retrying.  No reboot required.  Wierd.

    Are You Still Having The Problem? I Still Cannot Install Any Apps It Just Started Happening After About 1 o'clock. I Did Read That They Were Changing The Marketplace Name To Something Different I Don't Know If It Is Today That There doing it But If We Are All Having The Problem MS Is The One Creating It.
