Hi all,

I am trying to install an updated version of an app on a P800 and get the "cannot create" message above...  it does not specify which file it is referring to.  The message is given on the PC when attempting to install - at the end of the process.

I think it must be my images.mbm file, but whether an old one is there or not, or if the target folder is there or not, I still get the same error message.

Hope someone can help!

Hi,

Please provide more information on what/how you are installing, your PKG file etc. Your problem description is as vague as it can get  Cheezy

Cheers,
Pawel

I think I just get the same error today (the panic is "BackUpSrv 0").

I could safely ignore it. The app was correctly installed. Don't know however what went wrong.

Hmm,

This page has some info on the BackupServer panic on S60:

http://www.geocities.com/zavorine/symbian/readm.htm

For future reference, here is the relevant text:

Quote
Currently, due to the 7650 firmware bug (versions before 4.39), it is impossible to update/re-install any MIME recognizer without getting error message: App. closed. AppArcServerThread.BackupSrv 0. The workaround is to uninstall recognizer first and software reset your device before re-installing/upgrading it (it is the only reason why for now the recognizer is not a part of ReadM application installation file).

Cheers,
Pawel

Re: Cannot create a file when that file already exists
Hi

I am getting the same error as Mark and it is driving me absolutely mad! I am trying to install AppForge Booster 4.0. This is what I did: I had AppForge Booster 3.5 on my P800 pre-installed but needed an updated version for another program. So I downloaded the Booster 4.0 SIS file and try installing but I get an error when trying to install. So I go back and uninstall Booster 3.5 and try again. Then get the above message. Please help!!

Thanks

Wes
