app not running on memory card

[mayankkodesia]

hi,
i made two application one is gui and other i m using it as an exe in the first one.when i am installing in phone memory every thing is perfectly fine and running but when i m installing it in memory card,exe is not running and gui is working fine.all the files of app(using as hidden so calling it exe) are copied into desired location i.e in e: drive.
even the appui part of exe is not getting executed.On checking with task spy it is giving kern exec 0.
please suggest something.


thanks
mayank

check your pkg file and also in aplication code wheather there is any hard-coded paths for c:\ drive.


thanks

what kishor is referring to is in you "application code" did you check if any where you have a hardcoded path,

hi,
yes i check for that and also code shud be crashed later on no?
but its not getting in Appui.
waiting for suggestions!!!!!!11

Kern-Exec 0 would indicate that there is a R-Class object that is used without initializing it correctly. So check you code, and see which R-Classes you are using, and see if you handle the error codes etc. correctly.

And you may still consider doing a search for "c: in your source code...

You may also consider placing a breakpoint within the entry point and then execute the application step-by-step to see where it takes you.

I agree with ltomuta.
Try to use log file to locate the detail place where you get the error.

Hi,

I am also facing this problem. If I install my sis in phone memory, it is getting listed in the applications under menu. If I install it in external memory, it is not getting listed in the applications. But in settings if i go to installed applications it is showing that the app is installed in external memory card. My phone is Nokia 5800. Any help, thanks in advance.

Regards,
Saranya

You probably have some hard-coded reference to c: as it has been discussed in this thread already, just in a different context.

[viswasaran]

I have made a search in my carbide c++ project for C: No where in cpp or h files I could find the hard coding. In the project workspace I could see a .cproject file. In that I have some line like this.
<ROM_BUILDER_DATA_ID ROMBUILDWORKINGDIRECTORYSTORAGE="C:\"/>

Will this be the reason?

[wizard_hu_]

I guess not, you are not building a ROM, at least as I understand.

[viswasaran]

Fine... I am developing using carbide c++ as I told in my earlier post. Are there any settings to be done in carbide project before building, to solve this issue?

Also check for file access attempts without drive letters (like "\\resource\\apps\\my.picture.mbm"), only in the C++ code (it is normal to have such file references in resource files). "Current" drive might be c: even for applications installed to other drives. CompleteWithAppPath or RProcess().FileName().Left(2) can deliver you the drive letter.
