Yes you can definitely read a file that goes with your .pkg using RFile.

But I think you are accessing it through the wrong path.
Your application will either be in "C:\\system\\libs\\plugins\\Plugin.rsc" or in "E:\\system\\libs\\plugins\\Plugin.rsc" depending on whether you install it in Phone Memory or Memory Card respectively.

And to access this path, you have to access your application's path dynamically and not using a constant path like "Z:\\system\\libs\\plugins\\Plugin.rsc"

In a .app application you can access the application's path using the Application()->AppFullName(), but I am not sure about your application since its a dll.

Thanks for your reply.

So, if I install app using Nokia PC Suite, in which drive should it be installed? And ... after installed, can I read this file (with RFile, for example)?

Thanks again.

I suppose that "!" in pkg files indicates rom drive.

No! the "!" means that the user can choose any of the drive found on the phone to install the application.
The ROM is Z: and you cannot add/write anything on it.

Hi,

I'm deploying an app in a N70 ( 2nd FP3 ). In my pkg file, I've coded the following lines:
[code]
; Target
"C:\Symbian\8.1a\S60_2nd_FP3\Epoc32\release\armi\UREL\Plugin.dll"-"!:\system\libs\plugins\Plugin.dll"
"C:\Symbian\8.1a\S60_2nd_FP3\Epoc32\data\z\system\libs\plugins\10001AE1.rSC"-"!:\system\libs\plugins\10001AE1.rSC"
