Installation: Required Application Access Not Granted?

[AnotherManicMonday]

I've just created a self- signed sis file and tried to install it on a new 3rd Edition S60 phone.

The pkg file looks like this:

;Languages
&EN

; Localised vendor
%{"TestVendor"}
; Non-localised vendor
:"TestVendor"

; Standard SIS file header
;  UID is the UID of server.exe
#{"TEST"},(0xF0003111),1,0,0

;Supports Series 60 v 3.0
[0x101F7961], 0, 0, 0, {"Series60ProductID"}

"D:\Epoc32\release\GCCE\UREL\test.exe" - "!:\sys\bin\test.exe"
"D:\Epoc32\release\GCCE\UREL\client.dll" - "!:\sys\bin\client.dll"
"D:\Epoc32\release\GCCE\UREL\server.exe" - "!:\sys\bin\server.exe"

client.dll has capabilities All -TCB, the two exes (a server and a test console app) both have capability NONE. The UIDs are all in the unprotected range.

I self-signed usign "createsis create" and bluetoothed to the phone. Installation went OK until after selecting between internal memory or memory card. At which point I got "Required Application Access Not Granted"

Why don't I have required application access? The same code works ok on the emulator (with platsec enforcement on -> no errors/warnings in epocwind.out).

The code is a very basic examle client-server which doesn't link against anything but euser. It's based on the helloworldserver Symbain example code.

Is it because it's a console app rather than a full ui?

You need to mark your client dll with a capability of NONE if you are using uids from the protected range

[stichbury]

The UID given (0xF0003111) is actually in the unprotected range.

But is is in the legacy value range. Could that be the problem? May be better to assign a new value or use one from the test range (0xE0000000 - 0xEFFFFFFF)?

Well spotted!

Thanks!

I got a new set of unprotected UIDs (starting with 0xAxxx) for the server exe and client dll (didn't bother with a UID for the test exe).

Tried these but got the same message as before.

I then tried changing the capabilities of the client dll to NONE. The installation got further but then failed with a message about not enough permissions to install (I can't remember the exact words).

So I then tried signing with my Symbian Signed key/cert pair. Attempted install failed with "Unable to install"

What? Why? I wondered if it was because I'm trying to install a console exe with no UID. So I gave the console test exe a UID and success - it installed!

So, apart from the last fix, I've no idea which of the others was necessary

I'm now trying to work out how to run a console exe installed into sys\bin when I can't browse that directory.

Any thoughts please?
