Error installing Series 60 SDK

[avi1000]

Hi

I tried to install the "S60 Platform SDKs for Symbian OS, for Java" for the first time from this page:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n..._for_Java.html

When I reached the end of my installation I got a message "cannot start series 60 SDK for MIDP".
In my Eclipse, I don't see any projects types from the SDK.
What is the reason?

Hi,

Which OS are you talking about? Is it Windows Vista?

Hi

No, my OS is Windows XP.
I'm want to develop a java application for a mobile phone (N95). I have Eclipse IDE and although I can see the SDK in my installed programs, I can't see any Symbian projects. I assume it's because of the error that I stated in my first message.

Any help?

Hi,

How have you installed it? Which steps have you followed, have you installed Carbide.j or any other IDE plugin to support the SDK?

My advise:

Install Eclipse (3.1.x). Do not run it at once, it ca be done later;
Install Carbide.j or Eclipse ME;
Install Nokia SDKs;
Run Eclipse, the Nokia SDKs might be recognized and installed by the Eclipse platform. The ones out of automatic configuration can be added as Nokia SDKs (Installed JREs in Eclipse).

I installed several successful instalations using the steps above on top of Windows XP SP 2, I believe they can work for you.

Starting from there you can create your MIDP Projects quite well

Kind regards,

Well, first I didn't know that I had to install "Carbide.j" or "EclipseME". :-)
I downloaded "EclipseMe"
- there wasn't any EXE to install.

I installed the Nokia SDKs and the installation was fine.
I ran Eclipse and choosed an J2ME project.
1) When I reached to "Midlet Suite properties" I had nothing in the two comboboxes and I couldn't continue. What should I do?

2) I saw that the publication date of "Carbide.j" 1.5 was 25/07/2006. Can I still use it? Is it up to date?

3) In your opinion, what is better - "EclipseME" or "Crarbide.j"?

I managed to figure it out by myself. :-)

Hi,

Sometimes firewall software can cause this problem. Do you have one installed?

I wanna develop a java application with Netbeans.

I downloaded netbeans 6.8, then I installed the S60sdk 3rd edition Feature pack 1 for MIDP; however, when it finishes installing, it sends the following message: "cannot start the 60 sdk for midp" :S

I don't know if it's due to I'm using windows 7. I tried to add the s60 on Menú tools->java platforms.....but it says the same "cannot start the 60 sdk for midp" :S

Could someone suggest me something to solve this problem please?

I know this thread is already a month old, but I came across it on Google and thought I should post how I fixed the problem...

I'm using Windows XP and had *exactly* the same problem as described above.

I found a fix here: http://wiki.urban.cens.ucla.edu/inde...28Carbide.j%29

Simply download the file "MSVCR71.dll" from somewhere on the internet (-> google!) and copy it into the bin-directoy of your SDK-installation. (In my case that was: C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_MIDP_SDK_FP1\bin).

Good luck!
