Solved Windows 10 Mobile Cannot reinstall Skype Preview
-
Just for future reference as I'm probably going to 'accidentally' uninstall the app again:
I have been having issues reinstalling Skype Preview from my Lumia running Windows 10 Mobile for a while
Turns out the issue is related to the fact that it must be installed on "This Device" and NOT on the SD card (D:). The error message (if you can get the 0x8 number) isn't helpful and the app doesn't have a prerequisite check for default storage location.
Change the save location for new apps in Settings --> System --> Storage. Don't forget to press 'apply'
- Download the app again
- Then change the default install location back to SD Card (D:)
-
add some tags to the post to make it easier to find in the future.

I had to do this with a number of system level after doing a factory reset. Somewhere between versions they made it a requirement.

I thought I did. Must have fallen off. I should use better sticky tape
