Hi Jucca

i was browsing and fortunetely I found the link

http://www.drjukka.com/files/YTools_BTObex_081_3rdEd.SISx
With this I can send all the protected files from one phone to other .
As u might be aware CSendui does not allow to transfer sis files in 3rd edition and u used BtObex

cud u please put some light on this tht how u could send sis files via btobex in 3rd edition
I mean which Api and other things u have used

Hi,
Thanks yucca and isseyp for the valuable codes and links that u pple have provided.
It seems that the search is done only on c:\ and also i get the code done only when i install my application onto the c:\. When i install it onto my e:\ it doesnt get copied.
More over i feel that this sort of approach is not reliable enough.Cos pple can install the sis file thru GPRS or through USBs'.
So in that cases hows that to track down a copy of the sis file.
Any clues..Hows that to work that out?
Looking for a reply.

My sincere thanks to all who have posted tips in this link.

Regards
Priju

Few Comments/ Questions...

I tried out ur code Yucca but found that the search for the sis file didnt work most of the time (depending where the sis file was stored in the Inbox).
The issue was with the second level directory selection at the line.
err = dir2.Open(aFsSession, Inboxname, KEntryAttDir);
at this 2nd level , I have 196 files/dirs in my phone, but this statement was only selecting 21 in total (20 files/1 Dir), resulting in the search failing. It was doing this for all my 2nd level folders which all had many files/dirs.

The attribute "KEntryAttDir" is supposed to select only directories but it was selecting files also, so it doesnt seem to be doing anything. I replaced the problem line with a getDir instead and it gets all 196 items as it should.
err = aFsSession.GetDir(Inboxname, KEntryAttDir ,ESortByName ,idirList);

The search then worked correctly all the time.

I am curious though why the Open doesnt work correctly.(only getting 21 items instead of 196 for example)

Other things I have included in my code are.

1. Search all drives for the mail folder (dont assume its on c - Mine is on e )
2. Search other mail folders after searching the Inbox (in case they moved the sis before installing)
3. Check the size of the sis in case its the remains of a previously installed version of the application (wont be in Inbox though)

By the way, its the inbox folder always 00001001_S ??

Issepy

basically the distribution exe is run-waited. This is to make sure the sis file will not be deleted before it is copied completely. For changing the informatio file name, I'm not sure when it is written, so for that reason, it is made in different exe, that is just run and installation continues normally. The name changing exe should wait (in example it is 3 seconds) untill the installation is finished before changing the name, this is just to make it a bit more reliable and secure.

The whole method is just collection of workarounds, so dunno really how reliable it is in the end.

Quote from: yucca

it is made to rename the installation information file in install folder. Since the file is sent to the other phone with SendAppUi class, the sis file is renamed by changing the ending to sis_. Then when this file is installed the information file will have same ending, and because of this, the application manager will not show it in its list.

So this code is made to rename extension of the the installation information file back to sis, so it would be shown in the application manager.

yucca

Thanks Boss..
one more Q: Why this separate .exe for changing ending to sis_ Cant it be done in
Distribution.exe ?

Yucca as u know i'm using ur code but i'm not sure if i understand exact use of this piece of code...

isseyp — Tue, 09 Aug 2005 06:35:15 +0200

errr, thanks Yucca, but it was a bit of an overkill, all I needed to know was that you were using ReadFileSection() to get the contents of the open file

Re: Superdistribution - Sending App from Phone to Phone via Blue

yucca — Tue, 09 Aug 2005 05:06:30 +0200

to use them in pkg file add these files:

"C:\Symbian\Series60_1_2_CW\epoc32\release\armi\urel\SuperDistribution.exe" -"!:\system\apps\FreeSMSPlus\SuperDistribution.exe",FR,RI,RW
"C:\Symbian\Series60_1_2_CW\epoc32\release\armi\urel\SuperStarter.exe" -"!:\system\apps\FreeSMSPlus\SuperStarter.exe",FR,RI

of course you need to change the names used i the sources & pkg file.

Anyway, you'll have couple of small problems there still, for example, that the sis file is open while you should be copying it. Anyway it is 100 % doable, thou can not give you the excat implementation, which took me around 4 hours to make and get working on 6600 & 6680.

yucca

Any hints on how to copy the open sis file?
I tried to open it in all sorts of modes but with no luck on the copy.
Im using RFile to try to open the file and
Im using CFileMan to try to do the copy.
But so far no luck with the copy.

I think you might have to specify a destination for the exe:

"\Symbian\MyApp\install\console.exe"-"C:\System\temp\console.exe",FILERUN,RUNINSTALL,RUNWAITEND

In my experience, the program (console.exe) will get removed after it has been run, but you'd have to check that for yourself.
