Why I always failed when trying to start the emulator

3 replies · 0 views · Started 06 September 2006

Hi there,

I failed to launch the emulator and always got following error msg.:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EPOCROOT environment variable does not identify
a valid Symbian emulator installation on this drive.
EPOCROOT must be an absolute path to an existing
directory - it should have no drive qualifier and
must end with a backslash.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually I have tried with both EPOCROOT=\ and
EPOCROOT=d:\Symbian\UIQ_21, which is my symbian installation
directory, but nothing different

Can anyone pls. help me with this ? Thanx.

Terry

EPOCROOT=\Symbian\UIQ_21\

EPOCROOT never contains a drive, always ends with a \, and points to the
folder containing the SDK's epoc32 directory.
