Application stuck in "Installing..." stage in Market

I'm having the problem mentioned in the title on my Samsung Galaxy S. I updated the app Dock Simulator and for some reason it got stuck while installing. Now it shows the scrolling green bar in the downloads section of the market but the program itself works fine. How can I get rid of the constant "Installing..." status?

Oh yeah, reboot and uninstall didn't fix anything.

I just had this problem, and somehow I got this solved.

What I did:

  • Entered Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications.
  • Selected the Market app, and "uninstall updates".

After that, I entered the Market app again, and I was able to reinstall the app who got stucked.

PS: I'm not sure if this was just a coincidence, or this procedure works always, but it worked for me. PS2: My Android version is actually in portuguese language, so I'm not sure the option names I referred to above are correct in english.

I keep getting this, and it seems tied to my "Application storage is low" message.

I uninstalled several large, un-used apps, rebooted*, and the downloads downloaded.

*Maybe I didn't reboot. Check the download after uninstall and see if it's continuing....

Since my file-browser says I'm using less than 40% of available phone storage, this is a little irritating.

In the " downloads" screen of the market, long click on the app that's stuck installing and you'll get the option to Delete or Cancel (I can't remember which option you'll see but it'll be obvious).
