Problem with SIS file generated by Carbide Express

[rickyard]

I have just started using Carbide C++ Express after previously using Borland.
I have successfully built and run two programs with the emulator but now seem to be having trouble when I create a SIS file to run on a phone.

The SIS file is created (ARMI UREL), here is the Carbide output:-

---------------------------------------------------------
'Building target: C:/Symbian/8.1a/S60_2nd_FP3/epoc32/release/ARMI/UREL/HelloWorldPlus.app'

A SIS file seems to be created OK but when I Bluetooth it to a Nokia N70 and try to install it from the Inbox, after going through to 'Installation', an error message keeps appearing: 'File Corrupted!' I have tried two separate programs several times with the same result.

SIS files previously created with Borland Mobile still Bluetooth across OK and install properly. I would be very grateful for any help - thank you.

I also faced same problem. Only solution to this problem i found is to use a cable transfer to phone and install using Nokia PC suite.

[rickyard]

Thanks, I'll try that. Presumably, there must be something wrong with the SDK somewhere as I appear to be using all the Nokia recommended software for the N70.

Hi,

It seems that you have successfully created the SIS file for target platform on Carbide C++. I have written on application which runs on emulator.
The linker used is WinsCW.

Now I want to create a SIS file which will run on the actual device which is in this case is NokiaE61 device.

How to create the SIS file for target platform?
Do i need to build the complete application again for target platform?
Can i use "makesis" tool to create SIS file?

Waiting for your reply,

With Regards,
