Article #29845: Project | Build Symbian Installation System option in C++ Mobile Edition creates bad .PKG and .SIS files


Question:

I am using C++Builder 6 and C++ Mobile Edition. In my mobile application, after selecting Project | Build Symbian Installation System, the resulting .PKG and .SIS files are bad.

How can I get around this problem?
 
Answer:

The problem here is that Project | Build Symbian Installation System creates an incorrect .PKG and .SIS file when no .PKG file exists.

To work around this issue, first select Tools | Mobile Build Tools... | Create Default Package File. Overwrite the existing .PKG file if you are prompted to do so.

Then, only after doing the above, select Project | Build Symbian Installation System. This will now result in the proper file generation.

NOTE:
The information in this document is current as of C++ Mobile Edition version 1.1.
