This may be a silly question. But I'm really into trouble. I'm unable to install S60 3rd Edition SDK (file name S60-SDK-0548-3.0-f.3.215f.zip) I have unzipped the file successfully. I have installed JDK 1.5.0 and Perl (ActivePerl-5.6.1.638.msi) prior to installation.

But when ever I try to run the setup It crashes without leaving any message. And in the installation directory I have only one text file installed into it (releasenotes.txt).

I'm vey much worried. JAVA and perl are in path. Enviroment variables are good but still I'm unable to install the SDK.

Any help will be highly appreciated. I'm using Windows XP SP2. McAfee Internet Security installed onto it. But while installation I have disables the McAfee product. But got no luck.

[mateen_maldar]

plz download the sdk with the Nokia browser only

ant try it out .This should work .

or make sure u have all the required components installed for that platform

Regards,

Sir

This is to inform you that the package i'm trying to install already worked once. After formatting my machine all this headache started.


Thanks for reply. I'm really very panic right now.

You are not silly. The silly one is Nokia. I have the same problem. I have JDK 1.4.2 and Perl 5.8.4. I am also on XP SP2. Never succeed. I have try
S60-SDK-0548-3.0-f.3.215f.zip and S60-SDK-0616-3[1].0-mr.3.749.zip. It's same.

And I don't want to format my machine.

The real problem is that XP's newest patches confict with the S60 3rd edition installation program. If you open the "auto updated" in windows, you'll encounter this like me.
The only way is to format your machine and install java/perl/S60 3rd edition before you update your windows to the newest.
At least ten persons encount this and I've pointed out the problem, unfortunately, Nokia doesn't do anything for it.
What I worried about is if they know how to debug it? The stupid thing is that no log to indicate what happened in installation. That 's not like a serious product.

Unfortunately our team cannot reproduce the problem and therefore we need your help in tracking installer's steps. Please use the Filemon and Regmon utilities provided by SysInternals and send the relevant logs to: forum.feedback@nokia.com

Thank you for your assistance!

Actually someone posted in a separate thread that if you put an empty file called "S60_3rd.xml" in the same directory as the setup.exe program then it works. I am not sure how such a blatantly obvious problem is "not reproducable" by the SDK team. Not to mention that just quitting without any kind of message when an error such as this occurs is bad programming practice anyway, but then we are used to that from Nokia.

Also, programs that use the CMdaAudioOutputStream class won't compile out of the box without changing the header files. In the header file:

\epoc32\include\mmf\common\mmfcontroller.h

The line:

#include <mmfPluginInterfaceUIDs.hrh>

Needs to be changed to:

#include <mmf\plugin\mmfPluginInterfaceUIDs.hrh>

In order for programs that use the CMdaAudioOutputStream class to compile.

Dear Colin,

if a problem, once solved, does not seem trivial ... then you do not have the right solution yet. Thanks for pointing out to us the proposed fix ... can you also confirm that it works in your case too? I cannot duplicate the problem so I cannot test the fix either ...

I am sorry that you had to fight with the include file but, you know, accidents happen ... even in a corrected maintenance release SDK.

Hello.
I had the same problem with S60 3rd edition SDK - the installation process would just crash without any message or log output. I use WinXP SP2 with latest updates, as well. Creating an empty S60_3rd.xml file in the setup directory really did help - thanks a lot :-)

[colinward1970]

Hi there.

Yes, I can confirm that the fix that I specified above concerning the mmfcontroller.h header file works on my machine, as does the fix pertaining to the missing S60_3rd.xml file. While we are on the subject of SDK problems, here are some other ones that you might want to report to the SDK team:

1) When you run bldmake when you don't have RVCT installed it will give the following bogus warning:

"WARNING: Cannot determine the version of the RVCT Compiler."

It's only a trivial warning, however I have seen lots of people confused by this so it should really not be displayed if you are compiling for GCCE and have that specified in your bld.inf file.

2) There are many header files in the epoc32\include directory that violate C/C++ standards and therefore cause many warnings when compiling for the GCCE target. Many header files do not contain a newline at the end, which causes warnings to appear and many header files have broken #endif statements which again cause warnings to appear. For instance, the following code:

#endif __IPC_V2_PRESENT__

Can be found all through the header files and is not legal C/C++. It must either have the "__IPC_V2_PRESENT__" removed or be changed to:

#endif // __IPC_V2_PRESENT__

In order to compile quietly. I believe that having a comment after the #endif is also not legal C/C++ but most compilers allow it without displaying warnings so I guess that it is ok.

I personally edit all of the files in epoc32\include that I use so that warnings are not emitted, because if I don't then I get many hundreds of lines of bogus warnings when I compile my project! The warnings are harmless but if they cause you to miss a *real* warning then they are not so harmless after all!

Anyway, thank you for listening and I hope that these small problems can be fixed.

[colinward1970]

Actually there is one more warning that I forgot to mention above. In the file \epoc32\include\eikmenup.h on line 181 is the following function:

inline TBool CEikMenuPaneItem::IsScaleableText(const TDesC& aText) const
{
return (aText.Locate(TChar(KScaleableTextSeparator)) == KErrNotFound ? EFalse : ETrue);
}

ETrue is of type TTrue and EFalse is of type TFalse, which results in the following warning when compiling with GCCE:

.../eikmenup.h:183: warning: enumeral mismatch in conditional expression: `TFalse' vs `TTrue'

The ETrue and EFalse values need to be cast to TBool in order to avoid the warnings. ie:

inline TBool CEikMenuPaneItem::IsScaleableText(const TDesC& aText) const
{
return (aText.Locate(TChar(KScaleableTextSeparator)) == KErrNotFound ? (TBool) EFalse : (TBool) ETrue);
}

Again, if you could pass this information along to the SDK team it would be appreciated!

I had the same problem, and creating an empty S60_3rd.xml file solved it. Extra special kudos for the discoverers of this fix.

Hi all,

I am a newbie and am facing the same problem during SDK installation.
Unfortunately in my case the problem could not solved after creating an empty file S60_3rd.xml as suggested in replies.

Here are some information for your kind reference

1.The machine on which i installing SDK has Windows XPSp2 OS.
2.JDK 1.4.2 has installed.
3.Perl 5.8.7 has installed.
4.I am using Carbide C++ IDE.
5.I have downloaded the SDK from the following link:-

http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n....215f.zip.html

I have captured the the filemon amd regmon logs,but it's a huge data cannot paste in forum .i have tried but forum got hanged.
So,if u people need them then i can upload the log file on Rapidshare and send u the link OR u suggest how can i send you the files.

Please help me.

With Regards,
Vikrant

[v_kansal05]

Hi,

I have send the log files (filemon.LOG and regmon.LOG ) at forum.feedback@nokia.com

Thanks,
Vikrant

Hi, I was installed S60-SDK-0616-3.0-mr.3.749 to Windows Xp SP1 successfully, but this OS was installed to my home PC for experiments.
For SP2 I are the same problem for work and home PCs.
Empty S60_3rd.xml file solved this problem.

Thanks
