I'm clicking on apk file and it prompts for install but quickly stops without indicating if it was installed or not or what the issue is. How can I see why it is not installed? Where is the log for this kind of information?

Can you connect your device to your machine via usb? You should be able to go to a prompt and do:
adb install <apk_name>.apk
and see the error if the uninstall in unsuccessful. This is assuming adb
is in your path. It's normally located in your android_install_directory/platform-tools/
