You know it's a Technical Preview, right?

​So you read all the messages/warnings about bugs/errors etc?

​Phone model? App version? Error? Steps to reproduce? Anything....

​BUT, there are some reports of this - make sure you're not well-earthed when installing new apps (standing on a sofa/chair is a good way to do this). Basically, only install new apps if stood on furniture. Until there's a fix released.
