how to use Symbian OS starter? Is there UID right problem?

[Joyce An]

this is my .RSC file

#include <startupitem.rh>
RESOURCE STARTUP_ITEM_INFO startexe
{
    executable_name = "C:\\sys\\bin\\mscserver.exe"; 
    recovery = EStartupItemExPolicyNone;
}

this is my .pkg file

"\epoc32\data\ed4be29d.rsc"                   - "c:\private\101f875a\import\[ed4be29d].rsc"

UID3=ed4be29d, Is there right problem?
please help me, thank you:)

1. is mscserver.exe your application ?
2. can you show your PKG file ?

[Joyce An]

yes , mscserver.exe is my application.

;server Executable and default resource files
"\epoc32\release\armv5\urel\mscserver.exe"    - "!:\sys\bin\mscserver.exe",FR,RI
"\epoc32\release\armv5\urel\mscclient.dll"    - "!:\sys\bin\mscclient.dll"
"\epoc32\data\ed4be29d.rsc"                   - "c:\private\101f875a\import\[ed4be29d].rsc"

;"data\ED4BE29D.txt" - "!:\private\10202be9\ED4BE29D.txt"

this is my .pkg file

[Joyce An]

Is this about .rsc file's encoding? unicode?

[skumar_rao]

Do you have "START RESOURCE [ed4be29d].rsc" that file in data folder .

[Joyce An]

yes, I did. but now the .RSC file has a problem.

See #39 of http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ation-Signing! for the minimal set
- That ed4be29d has to be the UID of your pkg file (which is in the # header), UID3 does not matter here
- In its current form, the code has to be deployed to drive c:
- Self-signing is not enough, use Open Signed Online as a minimum.

???why?

[Joyce An]

thank you.

[skumar_rao]

thank you.

is your problem solved ?

[Joyce An]

no, I haven't found the reason. I feel my .rsc and .pkg are right. but the sis can't install . I don't know why?

[skumar_rao]

what is the error you are getting .... Also it is always advised that you use uid with your application file name mscserver.exe should be mscserver0xed4be29d.exe
