Help Market: downloads apps, but doesn't install them

Hi. I tried searching for an answer in these forums and elsewhere, but without luck. No good search terms, it seems.

So, here is the problem:
1) I find an app and start downloading it.
2) Download completes and says so in the status bar
3) But the app doesn't get installe and I can't use it.

This doesn't happen always, but often. If I cancel the download (which is still active, even though complete), it starts from the beginning. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just hangs again.

If I knew where the market saves the (un)finished downloads, I would just go there and try to install the apks with Astro. Where do I find this folder info?

Or does anybody have a solution for the problem in the first place?

BTW, I don't have access to an open wifi network (at least not easily) andtry to keep mobile downloads to a minimum.

Cheers,
Bresslau
 
Hi Velnaykkar, thanks a lot. I stumbled upon this folder but wasn't sure about it.

The thing is, in this folder, I only found old downloads, probably from when I had GAOPS installed. The new ones aren't there. Well, I will keep trying.
Cheers!

Buddy just try installing gapps again
Might be an issue with that. If that does not help do a wipe and install Galaxo 1.6.3.4 and gapps again
