What if Android Market updates doesn’t work for apps installed on SD card

Image via Wikipedia

The problem: under Android OS applications installed to SD card using Android Market cannot be updated, showing error message.

The solution (found here, thanks to cdore…@gmail.com):

1. Connect your device to PC.
2. On your device select Mount or External drive option.
3. Open your device as a drive in My Computer.
4. Find folder “.android.secure” or “/mnt/secure/asec/”
5. Delete file “smdl2tmp1.asec” (L before the 2nd letter and letter 1 after “tmp”).
6. Try to re-download updates via Android Market.

Hope that helps!
