N85: DLL install error: unable to install a protected application from an untrusted

[Donald.Eaves]

I'm trying to install a dll using a self-signed cert. This work fine on an N95 but fails on the N85. I get the following error: "unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier". Even though I'm using an unprotected UID range and caps are only:
CAPABILITY READUSERDATA WRITEUSERDATA

Attached are the mmp and pkg files:

As reffered here - Interpreting Platform Security Error Messages in S60 3rd Edition

Message: Unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier
Hint: If you use self-signed certificate, make sure that your application uses unprotected UID, i.e. 0xA0000000 - 0xAFFFFFFF. If you use protected UID (0x20000000 - 0x2FFFFFFF) or legacy UID (0x10000000 - 0x1FFFFFFF), you will get this message.

I would suggest doing abld clean (& maybe abld reallyclean) for the project and then re-build your project and try to install it again.

I've done a clean. And just to make extra sure I renamed the dll and got a new unprotected UID from the SymbianSecurity site that I used for both the mmp and pkg files. Same problem.

The VendorID cannot be set for self-signed binaries. Even for a certified package the value used by you is illegal, the Vendor ID must be allocated b Symbian in the 0x7??????? range.

To solve your problem set VENDORID to 0 or remove the statement from the MMP file.

The Vendor ID was the problem. But setting it to 0 didn't work. I had to remove it.

[ltomuta]

Probably just a cleanup issue. But anyway, it's good that the problem is now solved.
