After looking online for a few fixes, here’s what I was able to find. If you happen to know how to solve this, do let us know. And here’s what another one says:
This happened a few days ago on my Nokia 920 withWindows Phone8. I have tried repeatedly to update it with the sameerrorevery time. I cannot uninstall it because the uninstall option is greyed out when I hold the app icon down and the little menu comes up. I have also tried a reinstall from my Microsoft account with no change, and reinstalling via the app store – it just directs me to the same download page on the phone which has failed already. Grateful for suggestions as to how I can either remove it and start again, or successfully update it.
