20. Make sure it’s the latest app available from the store. Now move the file to the root directory of your micro SD card. Reboot your phone and wait for store get a refresh. It will show up under SD card section.

29. That’s really odd and seems to be more of bug than anything else. I see it working on my 1020 instantly but many report it doesn’t work that straight. Best would be to try restarting the device and see if it works

37. hi guys. if you are unable to find ” install local apps”. it was not showing on my phone also.
    1. save any .XAP file on your sdcard first
    2. then restart your phone once.
    3. open store and check. if still not shown just surf the store go to downloads etc.. and then check.
    remind me installing software on windows PCs……. Restart now or later……

38. I downloaded app in SD card and trying to install but it installation status showing pending and not moving forward. what should i do?

39. Which Application? Did you try re-installing ?

    Reading your post gives a hint, do the xap files need to be signed for the phone to “want” to go through this?
    you say:
    “An exception was there for companies and they could do it by installing their certificates.”

56. Sir please help…till I can get that option…and also How to manage Bluetooth files…
    How to send and receive Applications from windows phone to windows phone…PLS PAY SOME ATTENTION SIR…I STRUGGLING…

57. 1. Install FILES App to manage files received and sent.
    2. You cannot send apps i.e. raw files, but you can send link using share option. Do a long press on an app and choose share.

58. No. I had a Lumia 1020 where I can see that option. you just need to copy the file on top folder

59. am unable to install games and applications from store to my SD Card. whenever I change the setting from phone to card, its shows unable to install, attention required. I can install applications on phone easily. even I can’t move the application to my card. am using Microsoft lumia 535. with window 8.1

60. Hello Ashish,
    windows Lumia 1520 is Cyan but I dont see the option of Local App in store.

61. how to sign in..

    its showing error msg of 800c0008

62. this works with *.XAP. but how to deal with *.appxbundle?

63. .appx worked for me same as .xap.. But I’ve another issue, I downloaded an .xap through UC browser(enable speed mode, otherwise UC will get you to store after clicking app link) and moved it to apps folder. That app is not detected. May be it is compulsory to copy .xap/.appx from PC. Same as in case with ringtones. Gonna try it now.
    Anyone tried same xap you used, on other phones with different user accounts?

64. “Install Local apps” option does NOT show up even after I have two xap files in my phone’s Download folder. Its Lumia 730 with Win 8.1

    Please help.

65. Worked using Lumia 930 Cyan. Tried one .xap and one .appxbundle files.
    It only worked when I copied to the phone using a computer.
    When I copied both files it only detected the.xap one.
    So I removed the .xap file and copied the .appxbundle, so it detected and I was able to install.
    Thanks a lot for your tip!
