Auto start application when installation finished

[markos123]

Hey guys!

I have a question.
How to start application ( exe ) after installation is finished?

I read that we can put commands ( ,FR,RI ) in pkg file:

So.. i have take helloworld example which is located in SDK ( S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_2\S60CppExamples\helloworldbasic).

and add:
"..\..\..\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\HelloWorldBasic.exe" -"!:\sys\bin\HelloWorldBasic.exe", FR, RI

HelloWorldBasic doesn't start after installation is finished.. Anyone know why??? I put this above command in the end of pkg file so other resources are already copied. Installation successfully finished but helloWorld doesn't starts...

Must have application (exe) some other start/exit implementation as in HelloWorldBasic example that will be starded after installation??

Second question:
How can i run wgz application with symbian.. Maybe with SW Installer launcher api??

I want that when sis installation is finished it automatically run my installer.exe which then run wgz file..

I'll be very grateful for any help.

Thank you very much.

to autostart an application after installation, you can add ",FILERUN,RUNINSTALL" in your .pkg file:

"MyApp.APP"-"!:\system\apps\ MyApp\ MyApp.app",FILERUN,RUNINSTALL

But this doesn't work for me..

If i add this ( FILERUN,RUNINSTALL ) to pkg, HelloWorldBasic doesn't start automatically

What can i do to run this example automatically after installation?
Can anyone try it?

Example is in CppExamples after SDK installation.
e.g: C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_2\S60CppExamples\helloworldbasic

Thanx!

If you search for FILERUN in the SDK Help, the answer is there:

Can I launch my application during the install/uninstall procedure?

Your application must be certified in order to use FILERUN and launch it during install/uninstall. Self-signed applications cannot be launched.

wizard_hu: thank you

So.. my problem is that sis is only self-signed.. so cannot be run after installation.

I have a just one question. FR , RI arguments runs application DURING installation.. It is posible to run it only AFTER installation ( when installation is finished )?

Thank everyone!

Hi,
What do you mean by "run after installation"?? Actually your application will rrun only once the installation is finished and on completion it will start you application that is the reason you place your app in the end so that all the components used by application are installed and then the application is launched.

Hi markos123,

I want that when "sis" installation is finished it runs my "installer.exe" which then run "wgz" WRT - widget file ( installation ).

So sis installation must be finished that other installation manager ( WRT ) can be run..

[yogpan]

Hi,
In that case what you can do is to programmatically install the WRT - widget file from your application once it is running.Check this link to know more about how to do it programmatically

Thank you very much.. it works on Emulator

I'm using method of SW Launcher API

IMPORT_C TInt SwiUI::RSWInstLauncher::Install ( RFile & aFile )

i declare path like this :
_LIT(KPath,"c:\\widget.wgz");
TBufC<50> FName( KPath );
iLauncher.Install( FName );

like i said.. it works okey in emulator..
But how can i set path that will bi run in mobile phone??
How to set relative path? Above path is in emulators c folder

I have widget.wgz is !:/sys/bin/ and /data directory on phone.

[markos123]

Just one question:

On which folder in phone is good to copy external program that will be run later?

I want to put Widget.wgz to folder on which i can run with Launcher API later.


e.g.: !:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\ ?

"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\MyExe.exe" -"!:\sys\bin\MyExe.exe" ,FR,RI


when i intall it, exe does not auto start itself after installaion.

note that RI & RR will not work with self signed SIS files.
