AppWizard and XP = Crash???

5 replies · 2,312 views · Started 29 March 2003

Hi there,

Whenever I try to make a new project in VC++ using the Series 60 AppWizard, I fill out the form, hit Finish, a progress bar briefly appears, then the application totally freezes. If I ctrl-alt-del, I see there are 2 CMD.EXE's being executed, but no matter how long I leave the PC, nothing happens, and so no project is made.

What can I do, and how can I get a new project loaded???

Thanks for any help.

First of all be patient...it takes some time anyways.
However you might want to check out that the SDK is installed in the C: root i.e. C:\Symbian\6.1\Series60........ That will probably do the trick.

I left it the best part of an hour and nothing 😞

The SDK is installed to C:\Symbian\

I had this problem when I had versions 0.9 and 1.0 of the SDK installed at the same time (trying to use v1.0 with Visual Studio).

In the end I removed version 1.0 and went back to 0.9 - This works fine with just the one SDK installed (you still get the usual file not found after VS6.0 has created the project, but you just need to [code:1]bldmake bldfiles[/code:1] then [code:1]abld makefile vc6[/code:1] to the project to make it work).

Couldn't be bothered to just try V1.0 on it's own so I don't know if it would work...

I did manage to get it working, by making sure the path to create the workspace had no spaces.

Cheers
