Series 60 C++ SDK AppWizard Freezes my MSVC6.0

[rapsage]

Hi all,
I have the examples provided running in my emulator.
But the MS VC++ Appwizard freezes when i try to
create any new Series 60 Application. I am running WinXP.
If anyone has sucessfully used Series 60 AppWizard on
WinXp, pl help. I am using VC++ 6.0

Hi All
The Series 60 SDK is running WIN NT 4.0 sp5 up only.
Please try it.

Have you got the Visual studio environment variables set, if you go to the command line ?

I have had a similar problem, and setting up the Visual Studio environment variables solved the problem. The Wizard creates a (hidden) command line to generate some of the files it needs. If the environment variables are not set, this fails and can freeze studio.

To check if the environment variables are set, create a new command line window and type SET
There should be INCLUDE and LIB environment variables pointing to Visual Studio, and PATH should contain several Visual Studio paths.

If these do not exist, you need to copy the settings from the VCVARS32.BAT file (installed in the Visual Studio directory) into your systems environment variables.

I would be interested to know if this is the problem you are having.

Hi,

I have not tested it on Windows XP but I am having WIN 2000 Professional on my PC and Appwizard works perfectly. Can you check if your environment variables have been set up properly.
In fact all you need is the one file AvkonAppWiz.awx. You should copy this file to your Visual C++ directory "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MsDev98\Template"
If you have more than one SDK installed on your computer, ensure that EPOCROOT is set appropriately
Start up Visual C++ and open the "File/New" dialog.
On the "Projects" tab you should find a "Nokia Series 60 AppWizard v1.7" item. Select that.
Specify a name as the Project name and, in the Location box, browse to the folder \NokiaEx in your SDK root. You should see the name of the folder appended to the path.

Mine was crashing too as described (XPSP1) but then when I tried to run the wizard in the C:\Symbian\6.1\Series60\epoc32\build\SYMBIAN\6.1\SERIES60\SERIES60EX folder it then worked fine. Go figure.

After trawling through the web I've finally figured out that this happens (atleast for me) whenever there are spaces in the path to the project or even possibly the project name itself.

Try creating the project somewhere that has no spaces in it's path, you might just be pleasantly surprised with the results :)

I can confirm that removing spaces from the project path fixes this issue.

By default, Visual Studio will try to place your new project here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\

Change the Location field in the New Projects window to something without spaces.
