How we can package QT installer and QT application in one install file?

[tranhuutam]

hi all,
As all of you know, before I install QT for Symbian for example, I must install qt_installer.sis. That means that make my client install 2 file ( qt_installer.sis and myQTApplication.sis), that's is inconvenience.
How we can package qt_installer.sis and myQTApplication.sis in a SIS file only!
I'm a new QT beginner, Benjamin Chan!

You can embed it. See this article: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Embedded_SIS-file

The recommended way (for Qt at least) is to use the Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian. Not sure what QT is though

See also http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...play.php?f=235 and especially the "Tools for quick start with Qt for Symbian" thread in that forum, it discusses deployment options as well.

Is there a way to automate this process in Qt Creator?

For embedding the sis file, define new pkg_postrules for the DEPLOYMENT variable in your *.pro file.
For packaging with the smart installer, follow the instructions on the tin.

Thanks all,
I will investigate right now, and share with you if I get success!
Thanks again,

My advice is not to worry about it too much yet. For R&D work, you can manually install the SIS files on your phone and the entire Qt packaging story, with a perfectly tuned Smart Installer, will look much better by the time you are have your Qt application ready for public distribution.
