but then when check that location it exists.. can u tell me why this happens..

Maybe you should show your pkg file in here, could be that something is wrong with it.

When you say you check the location and it exists, do you mean to say that the helloworldbasic.exe exists at the gcce/urel path or something else? Coz atleast from the error it looks that the .exe wasnt created due to some other compiler/linker errors, for which you need to look at the error logs and see whats wrong there.

this is my .pkg file:
yes i meant that i checked the location and helloworldbasic.exe exists.

; helloworldbasic_gcce.pkg

i suggest not to use the relative path to EPOC32.

can you let use know your src file path and the SDK you are using .

[kalyan_simhan]

src file path: C:\Softwares\Samples\helloworldbasic
sdk: s60 3rd edition FP2

[wizard_hu_]

The examples are designed to be "buildable" in their original location.
If you copy HelloWorldBasic to "C:\Softwares\Samples\helloworldbasic", "..\..\..\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\HelloWorldBasic.exe" is going to refer c:\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\HelloWorldBasic.exe", a location which you probably do not have.
Modify the relative path ("..\..\..") to an absolute one, referring the actual epoc32 folder in your SDK (something like c:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\HelloWorldBasic.exe).

[skumar_rao]

or try replacing "..\..\..\epoc32 with c:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2\epoc32 in pkg
note: assuming that you have installed sdk in default path

[kalyan_simhan]

hi all.. thanks a lot it worked when i gave the absolute path to
epoc32..

i have one more question.. when put it on the device.. and try
running it.. it says..certificate error.. contact application
