[manik01]

If you search for vista in the Wiki and the Blogs, you will find some ideas and a "success story" about using Vista for S60 development.

When I am trying to install Series 60 SDK - 3rd Edition in my Vista homebasic then I found that -
"WINDOWS VISTA USERS::Please find the GCCE patch for MSVISTA
in\C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1\plugins\vistapatch".Being a new person I could not found how I can make the GCCE patch for MSVISTA in\C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1\plugins\vistapatch and again when I am trying to install PythonForS60 1.4.4 SDK 3rdEd. zip then I found that the application has failed to start because CHARCONV.dll for python_launcher.exe and APPARC.dll for python.exe was not found.Re-installing the application may fix the problem.Any one can help me please?

Thanks in advance

Let's take this one problem at the time.

You have been instructed by the installer to install a GCCE compiler patch from a specified location? Have you found the patch files? If so, what have you done with them?

I'm going to move this to a new thread, the title/subject of the original thread is confusing.

Here's what the SDK release notes have to say about the issue:

...
Microsoft Windows Vista operating-system-specific known issues
--------------------------------------------------------------
The S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, Feature Pack 2 v1.1 works on Microsoft Windows Vista Business, with the following known limitations:

- ARMV5 support is not available for Vista.
- Build for GCCE target fails on Vista. Compilation for GCCE from command line and Carbide.C++ needs the following modifications:

There is a patch available to enable compilation for GCCE target over command line at C:\<SDK_Installation_directory>\Plugins\vistapatch.
Please refer to the help.txt file available with the package for instructions.

However, to build via Carbide.c++, an extra step is needed in addition to replacing the cl_bpabi.pm file provided in the package.

Add the following to the system PATH variable (through Control Panel->System->Advanced system settings) in the following order:
C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\bin;C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\arm-none-symbianelf\bin;C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\libexec\gcc\arm-none-symbianelf\3.4.3;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian\tools.

Restart the system for changes to take effect. Note that CSL Arm Toolchain needs to be installed to C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain for the patch to work.

- Audio might cause panics at the end of play. This has no functional impact.
