Message: Invalid when starting app

1 replies · 1,988 views · Started 23 November 2004

Dear all

I'm having a problem with starting a small C++ application on my Communicator. It works fine in the emulator, but whenever I try to start it on the Communicator it gives the error "Invalid".

What's also strange is that the AIF file shows the correct icon in file manager, but the APP file is shown with an icon of a puzzle piece.

I created this app, by modifying an existing example for the CrystalUI folder. Could it be that the APP UID is invalid for running on the Communicator?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, found the problem myself.
Stupid mistake, the AIF file resource contained a typo in the UID number. The only reason it worked on the emulator is that there the AIF wasn't created (still haven't figured out why this happened though).

Anyway, after changing the UID to the correct value, everything works again.
