Moderators testing note for Windows Vista and Windows 7:-[edit | edit source]
- All Windows operating systems will need to be logged in with Administrator rights this is because the install process will load drivers and install files into the windows system directories. There is not any checks to Administrator rights and can result in all these files being "dumped" in C: root.
- Generally development should NOT be carried out on corporate domain server connected PC because the PC have been locked down for general user activity. When using these machines check with the I.T. support that this will be acceptable to corporate policy.
- Development is best carried out on standard windows installation PC's as these will not interfere with the SDK and this is how they have been tested.
- Windows Vista users find the files at C:\users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Nokia\ for Windows Vista users must DELETE the configuration files (qtcreator.ini, qtcreator.db and the qtcreator subdirectory) or QtCreator will not load animation examples, so you will be stuck and cannot use the Getting started manual.
- Windows Vista user must delete via the Control panel the Environment variables for successful install "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian\Tools;" and "C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\bin;" and "C:\MADDE\0.6.14" AND OF COURSE C:\Qt\4.6\bin;C:\Qt\4.6\lib; and other versions these can be put back if command line building needs to done. The following must be added to the 'start' of the path for Symbian 5th Edition kits to work on Vista
- C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\bin;C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\arm-none-symbianelf\bin;C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\libexec\gcc\arm-none-symbianelf\3.4.3;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian\tools; rest of %PATH%
