Description

The initial sales software for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic does not have a stub SIS file for its assigned product ID (0x2000DA56). This makes it impossible to use a product-specific dependency in a SIS file for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

How to reproduce

Replace the generic S60ProductID line from the .pkg file with the following piece of code:

 ;Supports Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
 [0x2000DA56], 0, 0, 0, {"S60ProductID"}

Trying to install such a SIS package to the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic results in the "Application not compatible - Install anyway?" warning message displayed to the user.

Solution

This problem is expected to be fixed in the next software release.

As a workaround, the MachineUid variable can be used in .pkg files instead of a product-specific dependency.

For example:

 IF NOT (MachineUid=0x2000DA56)
 "compatibility_warning.txt"-"", FT, TC
 ENDIF
