Just in case...
In case some others are impacted, I'm currently using the excellent "SlimBean + OpenPdroid + Halo" ROM by DennisBold, and the "floating" Halo notification ring causes this exact same problem.
Luckily, you only need to disable it (two taps on the ring and then move it to the "delete" zone on top) and the apk manager install button responds again.
After you're finished installing your apk, just open up the notifications area and click on the Halo icon to put it back on screen. :good:

I detailed a fix (quick fix) on my thread, and it would be a bit rude of me if I didn't let you guys know about it. Try this:
http://184.173.234.188/SlimBean/Test/PackageInstaller.apk
Copy the file to your folder that contains ADB
Code:
adb root
adb shell
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
rm -rf /system/app/PackageInstaller.apk
exit
adb push PackageInstaller.apk /system/app/Then reboot. You should be able to install an application with Halo enabled now.

I take it you edited the pakageinstaller to ignore the overlays.
I sorta am in 2 minds with this. As per my previous posts here.
*Edit* good job none the less. Just wanted to have a chat about it. Ill pop over to your thread laters.

Compile a list of all apps which cause this problem
for me it was the screen filter app which was causing this problem...I think one should take pain and compile a list of all such apps mentioned in this thread which cause this problem so that people are aware of...i was just going for a factory reset and this thread saved me.

Solution for those with Lux
Lux is the problem. I had the same issue; I just hit the "sleep" button in the Lux ongoing notification, and voíla, the Install button worked.

I haven't read the whole thread, but if this workaround hasn't been mentioned, there is an easy way to solve this without the need for disabling stuff. I use a whole bunch of overlay programs, and I'm not about to go to each of them and disable them.
When there's an install window on the screen, just hold down on the cancel button until it turns blue, then slide off of it. Then the install button works fine.

Night Mode app was the blocker for me
Just like Lux, I use an app called "Night Mode" that dims the screen. Once I disabled it the Install button worked. Thanks for the tip guys!:good:

There is another way which will always work, If you don't want to waste your time.
Just use adb to install. As shown in the post below.

Gesture Launcher also inhibits INSTALL button
Just an FYI, if it hasn't been mentioned before. Gesture Launcher also inhibits use of the INSTALL button on non-Play store installations. In fact, any of the many screen dimmers seem to force the same problem.

just to add another apk into the list - Street Lens - is also blocking the "install" area ..

I had similar issue with lenovo & screen filter
It worked just by disabling the filter, it was an awesome finding. I was going mad with the button issue. Thanks a lot
Same here. It was very frustrating. The moment i disable the filter, the install button works. So weird.
Thanx a ton.

need some advice here.
I've been installing apk file from dropbox for testing purpose for few weeks. Occasionally I couldn't press the install button (on the install screen), but it resolved itself after few attempts.
However, it doesn't seem to work any more. I just can't press the install button, but OK for the Cancel button. I've tried restarting with/without pulling out the battery. It still doesn't work.
Have googled the issue, only able to find this thread
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150096
But I don't have screen filter app installed, so that doesn't explain my issue.
Anyone have the same issue and know how to fix it?
Much appreciated.
Cheers
Tony
PS. Im installing from dropbox.2
Iff lux puts a full screen overlay up that is what causes the issue. I think it is security thing.
Some of my apps had the same issue.
