Hi,

I have an app that uses an embedded SIS file to close down my main application at uninstall time. This works just fine, and tidies up the uninstall from the user point of view.

I would like to avoid the extra display of a SIS name at install time. I cannot find a way to do that. I assume that it is some option in the MMP file, but I cannot find any reference to it in any documentation.

I know that it is possible, because your NewLC product EZBoot is an embedded SIS file, and does not display it's name at install time (If you have paid for it!).

How is it done?

Hi Vijay,

Thank you for your reply. Could you tell me how to embed an EXE file so that it runs at uninstall time?

I am a little unsure what to put into the two MMP files.

The problem I have is part of the thread on the Nokia forum at http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=98327,
which shows some code by Kieran. I have actually used his code to produce a GUI version of killexe, and taken his suggestions for the MMp file contents

Re: Hiding Install display of embedded SIS file

Hi Vijay,

I tried moving the line :-

"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\KillApp_0x2000FEC3.exe" - "!:\sys\bin\KillApp_0x2000FEC3.exe",RR

into the package file for my main app, but it stopped working, in that it did not close down the main app, which it did as an embedded SIS file

Any ideas?

Richard

and refer the following topics "Installing language independent files" and Package file format in your SDK
