You will have to do some debugging and logging as nobody can know what your application does better than you do.

It could be that it does not start at all (something wrong with the registration file) or that it starts but then exits for some reason.

As you are using Startup List Management API, you need to sign it with developer certificate. Hence you should use UID3 from protected range. You need to change UID3 value in your case and i.e: 0xe4501db0. Find all the occurrences of this UID in your whole project and replace all with newer UID.
In Wiki article, it has been taken from range of development purpose. I suggest you to ask protected range UID from www.symbiansigned.com so that you just need to find/replace only once.

Hello Kiran,

Thanks for your reply, i done an open signed online for this application and install it on N73 mobile device, with no error messages ,,but when i was trying to startup the mobile ,, my application did not appear (run) at the startup, maybe it is UID issue.

Anyways, below is the mmp, rss, and pkg files for the startup application ,, please check if there is any error regarding this problem.

1) Here is the mmp file :

TARGET AmerCE.exe // my application name
TARGETTYPE exe
UID 0x100039CE 0xe4502bd0 // two UID's

// Source path for the rss file

SOURCEPATH ..\group // file path
START RESOURCE e4502bd0.rss /* the resource file for auto starting the application */
END

2)Here is the pkg file :

// standard SIS file header
#{"AmerCE"},(0xe4502bd0),1,0,0

"E:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1_2\Epoc32\Data\e4502bd0.rsc" -"c:\private\101f875a\import[e4502bd0].rsc"


3) Here is the rss (Auto startup resource file) :


#include <startupitem.rh>

RESOURCE STARTUP_ITEM_INFO AmerCE
{
executable_name = "c:\\sys\\bin
AmerCE.exe" ;
recovery = EStartupItemExPolicyNone ;
}


Please help if there is any error,

"E:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1_2\Epoc32\Data\e4502bd0.rsc" -"c:\private\101f875a\import[e4502bd0].rsc"

A backslash seems to be missing, does it even install?

[amerzannouneh]

Hello wizard_hu,

thank you for your reply,

i am sorry for the missing backslash.
when i reply to kiran i forgot to type it

"E:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1_2\Epoc32\Data\e4502bd0.rsc" -"c:\private\101f875a\import\[e4502bd0].rsc"

If i remember correctly i created that page with holy intention in my heart. I could not foresee at that time that it would scare people at some time.

The backup file most likely )

[amerzannouneh]

Hello itomuta,

Thank you for your quick reply.

i discover that in my mmp file there is :
SECUREID 0xe4502bd0 // the old UID
if i leave this code without replacing it with the new UID.

the application will install without any problem , but when i trying to click on it from the application icon in user menu ,,,Nothing happened , i mean the application will never run!!!
and like usual the application will not started at the mobile startup....

but if i change the old UID with the new one (protected),, through the installation process the message will appear and said that (unable to install).

really this is very strange.

Please help, please help.
