That's the message I get when trying to install app fm the amazon store.
Change download directory perhaps? I can't find the setting for that . . ..
TIA
Did you check your settings for the one that allows non-Marketplace apps to install?

Yes, you have to enable non-marketplace apps in the settings or else it wont allow any apps other than those downloaded directly from the android app store. Its under Settings - Applications - Unknown sources.
Trying unchecking it and then checking it again. That worked for me when i was on auto-nootered stock.
I was able to get past this message by checking and unchecking Allow Non-Market Apps and rebooting, but I also created a system/app directory on the sd card and put my apks in there, this may or may not be necessary as I am still experimenting. I also made sure USB Debugging, Allow Mock Locations and Auto Mount were checked under the Development panel in NookColor Tools.

Where exactly do you find Settings - Applications - Unknown sources on an autonooted 3.0 Nook Color? If I go into Settings from the stock launcher, there is no tab for Applications. If I go into NookColor Tools I see two panels for Settings - one is for GSM which is all greyed out and one just reproduces the stock settings page. There is also a Manage Applications panel, which just shows installed applications.
update; no love
Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing's worked.
I have checked "Allow Non-Market Apps" under NookColor Tools (it was always checked). Interestingly, I am basically not able to uncheck this setting. I can uncheck it, but when I navigate away (or reboot) and then return to NookColor Tools, the box is checked (even though I unchecked it before).
I also made an /sdcard/system/app directory and confirmed that "USB debugging" and "Allow mock locations" are checked under settings>development.
No luck. When I try to install apps from the amazon store etc., I get the same error message: "Install blocked. Installation of download apks is not supported."
Thanks.

Try unchecking... then checking it again... without navigating away... then reboot (not really necessary)... and try it again.
Could it be that because it's a NC and the Apk is from Amazon?
If i were them, I'd make sure that my major comp didn't get the same love everyone else might get. i could be waaaaay off base tho.
I unchecked, and then immediately rechecked, without exiting NookColor Tools. I then rebooted, since the first time I did this without rebooting, I was still unable to install anything. I also found that I didn't need the dummy system folder on my sd card.

Here's my question to you. Do you have another Android device? If so try instaling it on that, if it doesn't work then you know it's the Apk file. And if it does then it might just be a compatible issue between Amazon and B&N.
Until you try everything, rule nothing out.
Swordsaint, I was expanding on my previous post for LanceNem's benefit.

The following apps fail installation (Amazon / Market / Ti Backup) after 1.2 update and Manual root. Did anyone get any of these to install and run?
All Angry Birds
NBA Gametime
Paradise Island
Also, new in the market:
HBO Go
Be sure to follow these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13298075&postcount=92
As of right now, some apps like Angry Birds will only install WITHOUT the SD card in, while some of them require the SD card.
Angry Birds...
I got Angry Birds, Seasons, and Rio to install, with the sd card in. I had followed the install instructions to the letter including the fix for the market, all that after I had upgraded using the signed modified keep cwm side load zip. When I first tried in the Market the install process went into downloading, but wasn't downloading anything just stuck on dowloading. After I canceled it out and tried again they all downloaded.
I had downloaded other apps before, and I had also restored apps - no data - from my Titanium backups. I had also downloaded apps from Slideme.
I used the Manual Nooter "manualnooter-4-4-28.zip". I also restored live wallpapers - I don't really care about the performance hit - but I can't get my favorite "Water" to work, even though it works on my Nookie Froyo, CM7, and HC!
Sigh...
1.2 and Market
There have been several issues with Market in the 1.2 Nooter. The devs are working feverishly to get them resolved. HamNCheese seems to have found the solution, he's testing on a fresh install now and will post the fix once tested. Since it's been less than a week I'm looking forward to having everything up and running so soon!
Patience grasshopper... Good luck and have fun!
Angry Birds Install Fix
So I finally got AngryBirds to install on my 1.2 Manual Nootered nook.
1) Open Marketplace.
2) From the market, install your favorite file browser (mine is ES File Explorer).
3) Install Amazon app store.
4) Download Angry birds from Amazon app store. When the download is done, but before the install starts, exit the app store.
5) In the file explorer, go to /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/cache.
6) Copy the desired APK file (it was vnz57060.apk for me) over to the nook internal drive (note: file can't be moved, but it can be copied).
7) Remove the SD card from the nook.
8) Install AngryBirds by navigating to the app in your file browser and clicking on it.
9) Play.
It's a bit round about, but it gets around the issue of needing an SD card to download, but then not being able to install with an SD card in the device.
Good luck all!

I can confirm that this works, as it is how I got all my Amazon apps to install. Not too bad once you get the hang of it.
I managed to get my Angry birds installed by unzipping my Ti backup and using adb install. I guess adb disables enough of the SD card processes.
Can't wait til I can get a couple of new apps from the marketplace to install.
Manual Nooter - Angry Birds install
I tried these methods on my NC ML 4.5 install (from NC Development page GabrialDestruir)
Known Issues and Solutions:
"Download Unsuccessful" on Market v1.82
Having an SDCard in the slot fixes this.
Installation Error - Unknown Reason -18
Remove SDCard.
Find in Market and select for Install - This will Fail "Download Unsuccessful"
Using a File Manager to navigate to /cache/downloadnull
Select the download with the Angry Birds (or other app) Icon and install manually.
Reinsert SDCard---------
Didn't work for me even though the download shows up in ROM manager it will not install either with or without the SD inserted.
Could install it via Dropbox though. Anyone have any suggestions?
I used mybackup pro from last auto noot (1.1) to install no problems with all my games being install along with data .

I got Angry Birds to install via Dropbox and then used my back-up from 1.1 to get all the scores back and data, as well. It just buggs me that I can't get it to install via Market at all.
Copy the .apk in /cache/downloadnull, navigate up to /media folder, paste there, and touch to install.

I also confirm that angybirds and few other apps that fail to install from the market can be easily installed via adb.
For this to work you need to have adb installed on your computer. In NookColor Tools go to development and check "USB Debugging"
Attach Your nook to your computer and open adb
Command:
adb install <path to apk file>
I hope this helps. Thanks to LakerPaul for trying this out.
Cheers
Can someone just release the damn proper autonooter for 1.2? Will donate to developer.
I'm tired of keeping my 1.1 NC in wi-fi off mode.
I have tried both 1.2 Manual Nooter and HmC apk enabler with no luck no matter what I try I can't get the apk files to run. but at the same time I am still new to all of this.
Get the build.prop file and apply it, that will keep the update from happening.

I just rooted again after boot looping. 1.3 and using Manual Nooter per instructions in that thread, fixed permissions in RM, USB debugging is checked. I'm up and running just fine, however I can't install Amazon App Store. I click on the .apk in the downloads of my browser and I get two choices to use, " App Installer", and "Package Installer". I try App Installer and I get "The application was not able to install onto your device. Please "Archive" and then "UnArchive" the application to try again. How do I "Archive" and then UrArchive" the application?
I try Package Installer and I get "There is a problem parsing the package".
I've reset and rooted numerous times because of boot loops issue, which I'm pretty sure I've solved, but every previous time I was able to install Amazon App Store.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Well I am not an expert by any means but it sort of sounds like a bad file have you tried deleting it and re-DLing it? You can DL it right onto the nook via email for example, Amazon will email you the link. If it's any problem other than that then it's way out of my league. Hope that works!
I've downloaded the .apk numerous times with stock browser and Opera Mini, and tried downloading it from the email amazon sent me with the download link. Same issues with all attempts.
Have you tried opening it with a file browser like Astro? Also try downloading the apk to your PC and then copy it to your Nook via USB, the Download on your Nook could be getting screwed up.
Also if you have ADB setup you can try running the command "adb install [insert apk filename here]" to try to install the Amazon Store.

Did you check the "Unknown Sources" box in Settings -> Applications?
I don't mean to be condescending, but you didn't mention it in the OP.
yes, unknown sources is checked. I figured out how to fix problem. I moved .apk's to system/app using Root Explorer and using Package Installer, they installed just fine.

Have the same problem and has heard the same soln. Root explorer is $4 at Android Mkt. Anyway to get it free ?
I paid for it. There may some other file managers that you can use, but I just dropped the dough for Root Explorer.

For what it does it is cheap for $4. We need to pay for apps or else developers will quit building them.

Unless I am mistaken this does nearly everything Root Explorer does. At least I think I've heard that before. Having paid for and more importantly become familiar with Root Explorer, I have't actually tried it. But I do know it comes HIGHLY recommended.

Please Help - This doesn't solve my problem
Just rooted 1.3 again with both manual nooters. Everything is working fine now but I want to download Amazon App Store from The web.
It downloads fine but wont install - gives me a "your phone is protected" warning box saying that I should go to Settngs/Application and check the box to allow for outside downloads.
I DON'T HAVE AN APPLICATIONS OPTION UNDER SETTINGS. I had one when I was running cm7 - but not for a simple 1.3 manual nooter.
I have looked everywhere I can think of - can anyone help or have a work-around?
How do I sideload apps on the samsung captivate?
Sent from my LGL55C using xda premium
From the menu button, settings/applications...make sure "unknown sources" is checked. And you should be good to go.
Sent from this thing in my hands
You need your phone rooted. Then you'll need to check "Unknown Sources" in your application settings. Download the Astro FileManager app, Navigate to the .apk that you copied to your device/sd card and select "Install apk"
You can also use cloud storage like Dropbox to sideload apps.
Move the apps you want sideloaded to dropbox, install the dropbox app on the phone, log in and download the app... you will be prompted to install the app once the download is complete. Make sure you have "Unknow Sources" checked like others said. If you are on a stock rom and are not rooted, ATT has this blocked. So it helps that you are rooted... ^_~
So I sussed out the steps to root the Nook HD+ and got Gapps running.
Some apps, Google Play says " aren't compatible with your device." It's been suggested to 'sideload' them.
Googling how to do this, it seems like a PITA but I followed thru.
Basically, I had to run a program called "ES File Explorer" and have it find an already installed version of WordHero on my phone.
I took that APK, put it on my Google Drive, then loaded it on the Nook HD and it works.
Is there a more direct way to get the APK from Google Play? Or, is my route going to be to pull it from my phone via ES File Explorer and put it on the Nook HD+?
Bonus Question: Will apps that are side-loaded auto-update correctly?
Is there a known source for the Chrome APK ?

Another source of free apps is 1mobile.com. It installs an app very much like Play Store and will let you download and install them when Play Store might not.
If Play Store said it was not compatible and you sideloaded it, I doubt it will auto-update.
