Dude I'm having the same problem. I purchased Racthet and Clank Quest for booty about two weeks ago (21 Aus dollars), it just finished downloading (no joke, it really did take that long to download). I was so relieved when it finished and wanted to get straight into the game but unfortunetly I got a message saying it had to install. About 15 seconds later it pops up with yet another message saying

An error occurred during the install operation.
(80029564)

I was so outraged by the messageI felt like hurling the controller at my monitor, instead I rushed to my computer and looked up the error code and found your post.

At the moment I am so bloody pissed off at Playstation Network, not just because it's unbelievably slow it also doesn't work properly.

This same error happened to me last night with a few demos. I figured out that this will almost never happen if you do not do a background download. Just download it right when you buy it. It takes longer, but is worth it.

i may have fixed this problem a while ago so i don't remember if this is the same error code or not but if it is then you have to go and turn off the media bar. its in the same area with all the settings that you can put on your ps3 like backgrounds and stuff.Its all the way at the bottom. I might not be right so ill check back later on my PS3 and repost if it is wrong.

I think that code mean that you have disconnected from your internet supply. i had a code that started with 800 and looked something like that and it was because my internet was playing up

This happened to me when I downloaded Final Fantasy VII yesterday. It finally finished downloading about an hour and a half ago and when I went to install it, I got that error code. I downloaded it in the background so I could continue playing the game I was playing. If downloading in the background does this to people why did Sony put it in as a feature?

i had the same problem, the reason was the internet connection was slow, when i upgraded the downloads started working perfectly.

Hope this helps with your problem.

Go in to the instruction manual and if i remember correctly some where in the back there's a section called error codes and look up 8002A548 and it will tell you whats wrong.

Delete the download and try again.

I had this problem not long ago, I then discovered that if you turn off the PS3 without pausing the download this error occurs - it hasn't happened again since then.

I called playstation and the guy told me it was because they were doing maintenance on playstation network

The same thing happened to me and then I downloaded it agin but this time I didn't do it in background and it worked. So to fix your problem download another time.

EVERYONE! LISTEN UP!!!!!!!! I know how to FIX IT!!
To fix this problem you need to disable the media center.

Ive disabled the media center but I still cant install FIFA10 demo... Error 80029564 keeps showing up... :(

Media center is for communicating on your local network, can't see how this would affect your downloads. 1st, check you've got the latest firmware. If you have, try deleting the game and re-downloading it. Also, If you download files in the background, its important to make sure you shutdown your ps3 properly (like a pc) otherwise you risk corrupting data on the hard drive.

Playstation Support has an error code tool. Google "Playstation 3 error code tool". Enter your error code, and it will give you a link to a page of possible solutions.

you know, i had the same exact problem when i was getting the add-on content for batman:AA, then after the error message it would have some 'corrupt data' in my game section and everytime i deleted that and tried again it would again give me an error code, so what i did was after trying 5 times before figureing it out, I LEFT the corrupt data on there and tried downloading and installing again and it worked. So if you have corrupt data, try leaving it and then downloading again thats what seemed to help mine.

When I get that error I just go under my download bar,( or if it's free PSN), and download it again, and most of the time it works.

Basically it happens when your internet unexpectedly disconnects while your DLC is be downloaded in the background. 9-10 when you restarted back up, the DLC became corrupted, therefore giving you the error code. Simply delete the corrupted data, and re download again, and it should work as new.

It seems that some people have had issues while doing a BG download of these demos. Try doing a download while not playing a game or doing anything else.

If it happens delete the demo then download it again then it will work.

This same error happened to me

You'd think as long as the problem has been around, someone would know how to fix it, right?

Thats why you should buy the hard copy and not the downloadable version and for demos it only waste time just check some reviews and they will give you a good thoughts on it .

I share your pain. i downloaded final fantasy ix and it wont install always the errors
I need help too
I think you need to reinstall the application/demo but dont download in background
im doing the same thing as i type

how many of you that have this problem use a netgear router? it seems that netgear routers and ps3s dont get along too well. after doing some research on this i found that most people with this error use netgear and i never had problems with my old belkin router. in fact i used to disconnect my netgear and and hook up the belkin just to download before we sold it. i guess that if you disable the routers SPI firewall that will fix it but im not sure how to do that.

Can you close the question please? Thanks

Nearly the same thing happens to me except on my PSP.

this happeed to me too. i believe that it is Sony trying to "reboot" everything. I believe that in the next week or so everything will be back up and running

This question was asked 2 years ago just close it so it is not the question of the week.

It's going tO blow up

I've had this happen before. Unfortunately, you have to re-download the game/addon/whatever your buying. If you look at suggested actions, the only suggestion it gives is to redownload because it's corrupt.

Happened to me right now, redownload 5 times and still corrupted.

The item you attempted to download was corrupted during the installation process. (D***, I sounded like a f****** computer with that whole sentence.) Nah, but for real, the add on or game or whatever got corrupted. If you would like to wait another two weeks for it to download again and get the same message, you may. I would just email PSN or call them. And they actually respond with a real human. Not some recording.
