Default Swype + x10 install problem

Hi, i regisered for the swype beta and downloaded it onto my x10 using the email link.

The problem is, when I try and install it using astro the install screen keeps reappearing without anything else happening.

I have selected allow thrid party apps in settings. I'm not sure what else to try.

on opening a link from the email, u get to dnload a swype installer of 46 kb approx.
install it using astro.( click on .apk, then open app manager, install).
now from main app menu open swype installer.
it will dnload the swype app and the rest is easy on screen instructions..

That's not working, it shuts down appsinstaller with a message saying the installer stopped unexpectedly.

I can't seem to install any apk files even tho they all show up in downloads ..

am i missing something?

sounds silly, but have you tried powering off and on again... I've had to do that a few times when things haven;t worked properly and it usually helps.

If it doesn't work then just get the milestone version of swype.. works the same as the x10 beta version!

Do you have any old or different version already installed?

Or

Im assuming you have corrupted or incompatible beta version.
Try a different source. because Astro application installer is better than many other explorers. and you are error message dosent seems to related to installer or browser.

But I recommend you to use Smart Keyboard Pro. it have very high correction ability.

This should be the milestone version, simpler in terms of just installing and using.

but I would try what's mentioned above first.. who knows, he might have a point!!
