Installation problems

Hi!

I have written the simple application like "Hello, world". I was registered
on symbiansigned.com, has received UID, has received DevCert, has entered
IMEI of my phone, has made sis, has signed it. At installation in phone
(Nokia N80), a file it starts to be established, but at the end writes
"unable to
install ". What can it be?

DevCert expired, DevCert not having a capability required by your
application. IMEI registered in DevCert not the same as on your phone.
HelloWorld should not really need any capabilities - does this install if
you use an unsigned sis file?

It could also be that the device date/time is set incorrectly -
especially if you are using a prototype device. I would check that.

Also, as Hamish suggested install the app as unsigned. If require no
or minum capability, you don't need to sign it. Note that some phones
will not allow you to install apps if they are unsigned. They require
all SIS files to be signed - regardless if it is self-signed or
symbian signed.

Where are you placing your binaries in .pkg? Could be something wrong
there. As a test, try to maksis without any bin files in the .pkg.

Also, check whether the Symbian B root exists in the phone. It very
likely does.
