Hi,
I m very new to Symbian
I have installed Symbian series60 2nd edition to Drive 'D'
even JRE 1.3.1 also in drive 'D' and Perl 5.6.1 in drive 'D'.
In environment variables i have also set the
EPOCPATH = "d:\symbian\epoc32\release\winscw\udeb"

But above all this the working directory or OS drive is C:\
No when i try to run epoc on console then the error is reported.
"Failed to execute the emulator"
The lines of the code is shown are from epoc.pl file line 120.
Please help me. If I am missing something or some error is happening from my side.

Thanks,
Someone

Re: How to install and run symbian
I installed my Symbian development tools to my D: drive at first, but had problems and decided it would be better to have them installed to their default location.

In environment variables you have to set  EPOCROOT=\Symbian\8.1a\S60_2nd_FP3\ or whatever the path SDK is. Check EPOCROOT not EPOCPATH, I only have 2nd ed FP 3, so I'm not sure if there is a different procedure for only 2nd ed.

Good luck.

Re: How to install and run symbian
The better would be to install everything in C: without changing any installation path.
(and don't set the EPOCROOT variable, you don't need it with public SDK installed on default path).

Take a look at http://www.newlc.com/Symbian-SDK-switcher.html
and http://www.newlc.com/Use-of-the-devices-command.html if you intend to use several SDK at the same time.
