<p>Application Installation framework enables packaging of the software (SIS
files) to suit the device creators’ preferences, unpacking of files supplied
in a compressed form, copying them to suitable locations and providing information
about the certificates that are generated by the signing authorities. </p>
<section id="GUID-EEE22A59-D47E-4B8C-9642-89C8B958DC17"><title>Getting started with Application Installation</title> <p>Using
Application Installation framework, device creators can create and sign an
installation file, generate certificates used for signing, install and preinstall
packages, and retrieve information about certificates for analysis. They can
also have the native software to be installed on the device. </p> <p>The
intended audience for this guide are the device creators who are interested
in learning the basics about Application Installation framework developed
for the Symbian platform. </p> </section>
<section id="GUID-9CCD945D-3DE9-4ABC-9388-D15337E3EECD"><title>Architecture</title> <p>The Application Installation framework
consists of the following: </p> <ul>

Software Install Tools</xref> provides PC-side tools which enable device creators
to generate, sign and preinstall Symbian Installation files (SIS files). The
collection also includes a set of dump tools, which enable device creators
to extract information from SIS files, Software Install (SWI) certificate
store and registry entries for analysis. </p> </li>
