installer issues...

[chevyridah2007]

Every time i try to update a program or install a new one installer gets finished downloading and says installing and it quits to the home screen. The last program it successfully updates was solitaire to version 0.71 and now nothing shows up but the timer and score when i open the application. I have no idea what the problem is but it started acting like this when i tried to install some of the new java software. I really don't want to do a restore but it's looking like my only way out.

I've got the same problem - you are not alone.

I have tried reinstalling installer.app but it then won't open.

I have tried deleting and then reinstalling, but same problems.

Can anybody point us in the right direction.(hopefully not a restore, if it can be helped)

ssh into your iphone and run Installer from the command line, you should be able to see why it's failing then.

any solutions?

I'm pretty sure this is because you don't have enough space in the partition to install what you are trying to install. i.e. you are running out of disk space. This has nothing to do with your overall disk space. Apple has only partitioned a small amount of space to install third party apps, etc...

There is a bunch of info about this and a workaround in the forums.

here you go:
