File Format for Preinstallation</title><abstract><p>The SIS files that are installed using <codeph>InterpretSIS</codeph> can

be configured to be non-removable. If an attempt is made to uninstall a non-removable

package, an error (<codeph>KErrNotSupported</codeph>) is reported to the UI.</p><p>You

can generate a non-removable package using <codeph>InterpretSIS</codeph> by

specifying the <codeph>+nonremovablepkg</codeph> within the <codeph>-s</codeph> option.

For details, see <xref href="GUID-882DCE58-5E5F-44D2-9E84-093709EAA4BE.dita#GUID-882DCE58-5E5F-44D2-9E84-093709EAA4BE/GUID-E9CC4D6D-599D-4F89-AE0A-448B6D2D11F3">Generating

non-removable installation package through command line</xref>.</p> <p><codeph>InterpretSIS</codeph> is

the preferred mechanism to install non-removable base packages, as Software

Installer only allows you to install a NR base package if it has been signed

using the System Upgrade certificate. If an attempt is made to install a non-removable

base package not signed with a SU cert using the software installer, an error

(<codeph>KErrNotSupported</codeph>) is returned. </p><note> When replacing

or upgrading a non-removable base package using the software installer, the

upgrade package must also be non-removable. See <xref href="GUID-474A9F80-2B3E-5D11-8D2E-95E217BEB84A.dita">Preinstalled

Package Upgrades</xref> for more information. </note> <p>The following restrictions
