On my Windows XP SP2 notebook, Carbide C++ and S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS work marvelously, but when trying to install the SDK on my Windows XP SP3 machine, the installer crashed without any error or message.
 The installer crashes within a few seconds of copying files This can often fairly easily be fixed by creating a new, empty file in the directory from which setup.exe is executed, called S60_3rd.xml.
 Create a new, empty file called S60_3rd.xml If this doesn't solve your problem, read the long discussion on Nokia's Developer Discussion Board that's full of helpful pointers.
Also bear in mind that under SP3, if you intend to use CMdaAudioOutputStream, you need to modify the following header file:
\epoc32\include\mmf\common\mmfcontroller.h
Change the following line:
#include <mmfPluginInterfaceUIDs.hrh>
To:
#include <mmf\plugin\mmfPluginInterfaceUIDs.hrh> |
