Hi I am trying to use ensymble for replacing the uid of an exe. It sounded crazy for me but it seems its true. Can any one give help in this regard. I tried this LINK but couldnt understand how to run the python script.

PS: I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this topic.

You can indeed use Ensymble to change UID of EXEs and DLLs, but the EXE or DLL must not have the UID embedded anywhere else except the header. Many (most?) Symbian C++ examples have the application UID also in the program code itself. Ensymble cannot change those parts, resulting in an EXE that does not run. In other words, you cannot change UID of an arbitrary EXE or DLL that wasn't programmed with that in mind.

You can change the UID like this:

ensymble.py altere32 --uid=0x12345678 --secureid=0x12345678 --inplace myexe.exe

I tried running the py script downloaded from the link given below. But it gives this error when i run it.

  File "E:\Mac\ensymble.py", line 5
    if imp.get_magic()!='\xb3\xf2\r\n':raise RuntimeError,s
                                                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I m not sure if i m running the correct ensymble script.

What version of Python you have installed on your PC?

Readme says python version is 3.0

Python 3.0 (previously called Python 3000) is the first non-backward compatible version of Python, officially released two days ago. You need to use Python 2.6 or older to run Ensymble. I will convert Ensymble to Python 3.0 in due course, but for now it only runs with the "traditional" version of Python.

Installed 2.5 python and downloaded 2.5 version of ensymble. But i get this error when i run the script. I can tell you for sure that the pass key and cert and key are valid. Do i have to download OpenSSL from somewhere?

E:\Temp\Ensemble>ensymble_python2.5-0.27.py signsis --cert=cert --privkey=key --passphrase=pass unsigned.sis
ensymble_python2.5-0.27.py: no valid OpenSSL command line tool found in PATH

Is there any help for generating sis files(replacing uid, rsc etc) using ensymble?

Installation and usage of Ensymble is explained in the README-file:

What about the error which I am getting? OpenSSL one? Do I have to download it from some where?

Hi thanks for the help..
I am able to change the UID and capabilities now.
How can I change the rsc files and the mif file?
Is there a way to generate/modify rsc files using altere32 cmd? I tried it but it gives me error. I guess it only works for exe and dlls.

Have you tested that it works? If you're modifying software made by someone else, there's no guarantee that the original UID is not embedded inside the software, somewhere. Only change UIDs of applications you have written yourself and can be sure the UID is only present in the EXE header.

Ensymble does not support modifying RSC or MIF files. It has internal functions to generate new ones, but you're better off using the official SDK tools to compile RSC and MIF files.

I have written my own app and tried it. I was looking for a way to change rsc and mif files as well. Anyways thanks for the help.
