I have experience this kind of problem on my HTC Desire Froyo

Installation error Couldn’t install on USB storage or SD card

I look around the internet and most of the solutions to this kind of problem is delete smdl2tmp1.asec

Where to find smdl2tmp1.asec on your phone.

  1. /sdcard/.android_secure – this is an invisible folder on your SD card, which you can access with any file manager, like ASTRO
  2. /mnt/secure/asec/ – access to this folder requires root and a program like Root Explorer

I tried those suggestions but i can’t find smdl2tmp1.asec, another solution is connect your phone to your pc and look for smdl2tmp1.asec.

My final solution that solves my problem are the following steps:

  1.  Unmount your SD card from your phone.
  2. Look for a card reader and insert your sd card then plug it to your pc.
  3. Make sure on your folder options, the “show hidden files” are enabled and the “hide protected operating system files” is unchecked.
  4. Search your SD card for smdl2tmp1.asec
  5. And then delete the file, that’s it..

I hope these steps can help your problem.
