You need to root your Kindle Fire to install Google Market.

Did you install the framework file first, and the launcher as well?

After rooting, there's a couple of additional steps to get the Market and the other Google apps working. Here's a link to some instructions:

Did you mount the system/app folder as r/w? By default the system folder is read only.

Were you able to install the Google framework and change permissions for the Market file in the System/app folder?

No, I'm not sure how to do that with ES... If I long press on it, I can go into properties, however I can't mount it to change it.

With ES, you need to go into properties/security, and then enable the root permissions.

Just use Root Explorer, it's easier.

I read several posts earlier stating that Root Explorer is no longer available or operational on the Fire...

ES won't allow me to run in Root mode. Should I try it in Go Launcher? Or run it while in root mode in BurritoRoot?

Thanks for the help, guys.

Have you verified that your Kindle has been rooted?

I rooted with BurritoRoot. I used the option 3 "permanent root with superuser" so my assumption is that it's been rooted.

I was able to install the Google framework on it, and a few other google apps... When I try to make the system folder writeable, a menu pops up asking me to allow SU permission, I click allow, and then it says "sorry, test failed".

 

[NotJustAPhone]

Sounds like the rooting process didn't work with your Kindle. Did you get any error messages when you ran the adb commands during the rooting process?

Ok, I downloaded Root Explorer on the chance it might work, and it did!

I'm good to go with the market now!

Thanks so much!
