Hi Friends,
i need ur help.
i have an console application(i.e exe) for symbian 3rd edition . I developer signed my application then i create sis file .
But the problem is when i install my application on N91 device it throws an error message "Unable to install".

I am pretty sure there is problem with my pkg file.
Here's i m giving my pkg file .

#{"ICF"},(0x280000A6),1,0,0
%{"Vendor-EN"}
:"Vendor"
;Supports Series 60 v 3.0
[0x101F7961], 0, 0, 0, {"Series60ProductID"}
;
"\symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\winscw\c\proj.cfg"
-"!:\private\0x280000A6\proj.cfg"
;
"\symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\log.dll"
-"!:\sys\bin\log.dll"
;
"\symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\PROJ.exe"
-"!:\sys\bin\PROJ.exe", FR,RI

where 0x280000A6 is my UID3 given in mmp file of PROJ.

i also tried

"\symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\winscw\c\proj.cfg"
-"!:\resource\apps\proj.cfg"

But the same error .

i also tried using

"\symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\winscw\c\proj.cfg"

Re: Error : "Unable to install"

"Unable to install"message may come up when your installation file (.sis/.sisx) copies files to other application's private folder, i.e. \private\uid. Note that Symbian 9 introduces data caging concept, it means you don't have access to other application's private folder.

But it seems that you use you own UID3.

Re: Error : "Unable to install"

Hi Friend,
it's the problem related with file opening. When i call fopen("\\cfg") . it throws Error : "Unable to install".
I commented this line . my program successfully installed.
But problem is now , What should i use in fopen parameter.
I called using fopen ("!:\\private\\0x02CE67A6\\cfg). it again throws the same error ..
So please tell me in which directory i should open files(i.e. the argument in fopen function).

I putall my cfgs in ("!:\\private\\0x02CE67A6\\) in .pkg file.

EG.
"\symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\wrapper.dll" -"!:\\private\\0x02CE67A6\\icf.cfg;

Please friends, help me out of the problem.
