[moved] Executing an .exe after uninstall with FR,RR options

[rsiudak]

Hi there,

I am embedding an .sis file in my project that i want to run when the base program gets uninstalled.
Ive read a lot of articles on the FR and RR options but to me its not exactly clear.

pls tell me what i am doing wrong?

Here is what i do so far.

In the base .pkg file i embed the other .sis file.

@"testing_S60_3_X_v_1_0_0.sis",(0xE7EE4623)

Then i call these options

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

Then in the embedded programs .pkg file i add

"$(EPOCROOT)epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\testing.exe" -"!:\sys\bin\testing.exe ,RR

R* option will go along with FR.

"$(EPOCROOT)epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\testing.exe"             -"!:\sys\bin\testing.exe ,FR,RR

hi,

to be precise
check your sdk help..
Symbian OS v9.2 » Symbian OS Tools And Utilities » Software Installation Toolkit - reference » Package file format » package-body » install-file » Installing language independent files

run-options (which can be used after FR or FM has been specified) can be any of the following:

Name Abbreviation Description
RUNINSTALL
RI Run on install

RUNREMOVE
RR Run on uninstall

RUNBOTH
RB Run on both install and uninstall

By the way, when the parent sis will be unistalled then the Embedded sis will be uninstalled as well. You don't need to embedd sis for this case. Just a normal entry will be enough. Remove embedding sis lines from your .pkg and see my previous reply.

Hi kiran10182,

Thanks for your reply, but i think i didn't make myself clear. Sorry for that.

I wish to run the testing.exe when i uninstall myapp.exe.

testing.exe is the sis i have embedded in myapp.

How would i do that, my guess is putting this line in the myapp.pkg file

"$(EPOCROOT)epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\testing.exe" -"!:\sys\bin\testing.exe" ,RR

[kiran10182]

You can supply entries for myapp.exe and testing.exe and in one single .pkg file. So you don't need embedded sis file here as far as I understood your problem. Remove embedded sis file lines from your .pkg file and use FR,RR together. Something like below:

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

"$(EPOCROOT)epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\testing.exe" -"!:\sys\bin\testing.exe ,FR,RR

Thanks Kiran,

You are a great help, sometimes things can be so easy when there someone to point you in the right way! :-)

This solved it for me and also answered some other question marks for me in the future!

"$(EPOCROOT)epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\testing.exe"             -"!:\sys\bin\testing.exe",FR,RR
