Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': The System Account cannot perform this action.

Please help us on this

  • I would look in the ULS logs for more clues. To get more information from the logs, switch the output to verbose in powershell by issuing the command : "set-splogfile -traceseverity verbose"

  • Also, windows server 2008 is not supported by SharePoint 2013. You need R2 as a minimum.

It seems a security feature of SP 2013. You can try to use a different account which is not system account. Check similar issue here : http://techforum.extreme-sharepoint.com/2013/01/02/error-occurred-in-deployment-step-install-app-for-sharepoint-the-system-account-cannot-perform-this-action/
