What could be the reasons why my application’s Sis file won’t install based on the behaviour explained below? Any help please? Problem description: Action A: Action B: Background detail: What I need capabilities for: Read the SMS inbox, Send an SMS, and make socket connections with remote servers. UID: in the 0x2xxx range (requested from Symbian) Signed: Dev Signed Environment: Carbide 1.3 on Nokia 3rd Edition + phones. |

Have you checked that your reg file for the startup list is named correctly ?

Action B: Can you try introducing some time delay (e.g. 5 Secs) once your process starts.

Thanks for the feedback. It is really appreciated.
I am sorry, I was wrong about Action B and that it solves the "Unable to Install sis file" problem". It does not. I came to that incorrect conclusion because I through that if I modify the MMP and PKG files, and do a "Build Project", that my changes will have taken affect. It doesn't. If I however, do a "Clean Project" and then "Build Project" I see it sill still failes.
Thus, only when I remove all the capabilities (from the MMP file) does it install (Action A). When I install the Sis file (with capabilities NetworkServices, LocalServices, ReadUserData, WriteUserData, UserEnvironment, ReadDeviceData, WriteDeviceData ) it rungs to the end of the progress bar and then reports "Unable to install".
My project does not compile in the "emulator" mode so I can't use the "Epocwind.out" to find the required capabilities.

Problem resolved.
My sis file containts 1 main GUI EXE, 2 console EXEs, and 1 DLL. After assigning the same set of capabilities to each of the mmp files, for each of the binary files the Install worked. Even if the capability was not used by the console and DLL files.
