Re: problem in using sis file
Can you check what is the value of the following variable in your aif file...
hidden = KAppNotHidden;
// The value should be KAppNotHidden so that the application icon appear in the application menu

Re: problem in using sis file
AIF files are also known as "Application Information File".... you will find this file in your... it is generated from your YourAppAIF.rss file... I think you will find this rss folder in your data folder. Check the following link for details

Re: problem in using sis file
Hi
I looked in that file but there is no option like that. Here is my "Myappaif.rss" file code...............

Code:
#include <aiftool.rh>

RESOURCE AIF_DATA
    {
    app_uid=0x0BC30C68;
    num_icons=2;
    embeddability=KAppNotEmbeddable;
    newfile=KAppDoesNotSupportNewFile;
    }

// End of File

Re: problem in using sis file
Its your application name that is causing the problem....

#{"M-Secure"},(0x0BC30C68),1,0,0

your application name is "M-Secure" and you are installing ur files in "MSecure" which is different... thats you can't able to see the icon in application menu.

Change your application name to "MSecure" and check

#{"MSecure"},(0x0BC30C68),1,0,0

Cheers
Dennis

Re: problem in using sis file
Hmmmmm.... Strange...

Can I ask you where are you looking for your application? Are u checking ur application in "Unfiled" folder or "All" ??

Because I can't see anything wrong with pkg file....

Re: problem in using sis file
Can u download any free UIQ software from net and check whether you can see the icon or not?

e.g.

Re: problem in using sis file
There are a few reasons why your app might not appear in the menu:

1.  Hidden in AIF file
2.  Apps directory under \apps\ isn't the same as the actual .APP file name
3.  UID is allready in use.

I suspect it's 3.

Try changing the 3'rd UID of your app in your MMP file, and also in your PKG file.
