Unable to launch emulator

[somnathbanik]

Hi,
I have installed Carbide C++ 2.3, Active Perl 5.6, Jdk6, S60 3rd Edition Fp2v1.1 SDK all in drive D:\, which is not my default drive. Now I cannot launch the emulator, I have also tried to launch the emulator from command prompt (epoc.exe) but its not coming up. Please suggest me can I install all this component other than my system default drive?

The drive in itself should not matter, but your user needs read-write access to the epoc32 folder.
Check if the logfile is created and if it contains something: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Epocwind.out

Here is the log in the epocwind
16.270 CEikServAppUi::ConstructL() CEikServAppUiBase constructed

Hi,
I have installed all the tools for developing Symbian
1. Active perl
2. JDK
3. SDKs (5th Edition)
4. Carbide C++ v2.3


The emulator doesn't launch when I run the app using Carbide even its not coming up when I type epoc.exe from command prompt.
here is the last few lines of epoocwing.out
46.400 CAknAppUiBase::BaseConstructL() out
46.410 CTactileClickPlugin::OtherEvent - Begin
46.410 CTactileClickPlugin::OtherEvent - End

Getting an error message
An error has been detected in the Symbian OS emulator

Do you wish to debug the error?


Please suggest me.

Please add suggesation if you have any

If I had one, I would have already done so before you asking explicitly..but unfortunately I don't have any apart from one, and that is, 'you could try google', as there are a number of emulator related problems discussed already, there might be some solution useful for you.

You can search for that magic number, 268435456 in these boards, you may find some useful threads. For example if you are using Vista / Windows 7, there will be a thread amongst the first hits.

Hey I followed this link and can launch the emulator form command prompt http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...28268435456%29 , but wen I run my app in carbide C++ the emulator is crashing with the same error message. Please suggest me. I have reinstalled all the Symbian setup three times till now.

There is no need to re-install the SDK if the problem is clearly related to your application. What application are your building? Can you start the application from its icon once you start the emulator from the command prompt? Have a look at this wiki page, it will help you understand why the emulator fails to start when you execute your application from the IDE.
