help, can not install my .sis file for S60 3rd

[handle_cn]

I downloaded the carbide c++ and S60 3rd MR SDK, and created a simple "hello world" application, built it, and run it successfully on the emulator.

However, when I try to install it on my phone(N91), it stoped with error message "Unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier".

My UID3 is 0xAxxxxxxx,which is made from unprotected range. 0xExxxxxxx, 0xFxxxxxxx is also tested, but no effects.

Who can tell me how to solove this problem?

Thanks very much

All S60 3rd edition apps have to be signed, otherwise the phone simply rejects the install.

Since you are using 0xAxxxxxxx UID (which is in the unprotected range) you can self sign the application. Refer to "signsis" in the SDK, you would need a certificate and a private key for digitally signing your app. If you don't have a certificate use "createsis" which creates public/private key pairs n self signed certificate. Refer to "createsis" in SDK for the entire process.

Yes, my sis file had been self-signed, the carbide do this for me. Because I see these text in the carbide console window.

'Building file: sis/HelloCarbide.pkg'

hmm.. I really don't know what the problem is. If you have not managed to solve the problem, try alternatives, like switching to a protected range UID (0x2xxxxxx), but for this you need to get a developer certificate from Symbian rather than self-signed certificate.

Hi,kraja
I solved it. when I change the UID3, I only chnaged it in the .cpp, .pkg and .rss file, But I frogot to change it in the menu "Project->Properties", and now I have installed my .sis to my N91.
Thanks very much!!!

Hi,

I have same error but I changed UID *only* in Project->Properties and it doesn't work. How do you change it for a specific file ?

Thanks,

JeanXian

[handle_cn]

you should both change the uid3 for winscw and gcce build in the Properties setting

[jeanxian]

Thanks, it worked fine when changing UID in project properties and .pkg file.

Now installation goes until the Installing message with progression bar but stops when progression bar is at about half and I get "unable to install" message. Any idea?
Note: I copy .sis file onto a media card and try installing to phone memory or media card without success.

Now it's working.
To be able to run Carbide example on my target, I had to change project properties (UIDs), but also .pkg UIDs and directories, and UIDs in various source files.
