InterpretSIS
InterpretSIS is a command-line tool used to install SIS files to a data
drive image that can be flashed onto a device's system drive
. It
is either invoked through BUILDROM while
creating a data drive image or can be invoked directly.
For more information on system drive
refer to, Symbian OS

(F32) >> File Server Client Side >> The system drive documentation.
Command-line syntax
The syntax for using InterpretSIS
is as follows:
InterpretSIS [-v] [-h] [-w off|error|warn|info [-l <logfile>]] [-d <systemdrive>] -c <dir> -z <dir> -s <filename.sis>[,<filename2.sis>, <dir>, ...]
or:
InterpretSIS -p <filename>

The warning level to report; error by default.
|

|
-c
|
A directory on the PC representing the drive on the target device
to which files are installed.
|
-z
|
A directory on the PC representing the contents of the ROM (the
Z: drive). This needs to be specified so that
InterpretSIS can check any dependencies are met and to prevent

Alternatively, the parameters can be placed in a file, which is passed
