Create pkg files to generate sis installation files to
install your application on a mobile device.
For more information on:
pkg file syntax, see Package file format.
Creating a pkg file, see Software installation toolkit - reference.
Manufacturer identifiers, see table of manufacturer identifiers in the Symbian Developer Network.
The files to install block
in the pkg file tells the .sis file creation tool where
the files of the HelloWorldBasic application are on the development PC, and
where each file should go in the device. Specify the full path. An exclamation
mark (!) indicates that the user can choose whether to install the application
to the target device C drive or to the memory card.
Do not specify a destination for files that are not installed. For example, a text file containing a licence agreement to be displayed during the installation. Its destination is irrelevant, and may consist of empty quotes. Prior to Symbian OS v9.x, files could be installed anywhere in the file system. From v9.1 onwards, data-caging imposes strict rules on file locations on the device.
If the file may also be installed by other packages (for instance a shared DLL), install it using a separate or an embedded SIS file. Use one of the following forms to specify the destination filename:
"<drive>:<path>"
"!:<path>"
""
For an example, see HelloWorldBasic .pkg file.
