  • Missing required application or system component
    The most common error on install, missing required application or system componentoften with only a generic error code for the installation error message. Some applications require additional software or system components that are not included in the application install itself. COLAITS curated applications may list the required components in the software description, but it may be necessary to review the application vendor’s support pages for a detailed list of requirements.

  • Storage Space
    Needed storage space is estimated, and some applications may require more free space than expected during installation. It may be necessary to clear additional storage space on the primary drive, or in some cases simply rebooting to clear system cache files may be sufficient to free up enough space.

  • Software Not Available
    There can be delays between software and update becoming available from vendors, when they are uploaded into the backend management services, and when they are published in Software Center. When new versions become available, these delays can cause Software Center to have an internal mismatch with the available software versions in the backend system or updates available from the vendor.

  • Install Failed, but software installed
    Some applications may quietly launch secondary install processes or take longer than expected to install. In some cases, this may cause Software Center to check for successful install before the install process is complete, leading to an unexpected failure message even though the Software has installed successfully.
