<li id="GUID-9877B442-775B-5754-BB99-9DA810D30552"><p>A stub SIS file is created

by the software installer on the Symbian device after a package has been installed.

It details which files were installed and where, and is used when uninstalling

and upgrading the package. For pre-installed applications in ROM, <codeph>makesis

-s</codeph> can be used to create a stub SIS file. </p> <p>Stub files that

are created, contain a fixed date/time stamp of 2004/01/01 00:00. </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-2136F1C0-1FD1-58FF-8E6B-6D09D5E89DBF"><p>You can use the <codeph>–d</codeph> argument

with the <codeph>EPOCROOT</codeph> environment variable to avoid using absolute

paths in PKG files or relative paths to the current directory. </p> <p>By

default, binaries are built to the <filepath>epoc32</filepath> tree. So, if

files are described in the PKG file as, for example: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-7F3A3056-88A8-5D19-9CB9-C3135D17DD95" xml:space="preserve">"epoc32\release\armv5\urel\HelloWorld.exe"-"!:\sys\bin\HelloWorld.exe"

"epoc32\release\armv5\urel\z\resource\apps\HelloWorld.rsc"-"!:\resource\apps\HelloWorld.rsc"</codeblock> <p>then <codeph>MakeSIS</codeph> can

be invoked from any location using: </p> <p><userinput>makesis -d%EPOCROOT%

HelloWorld.pkg</userinput> </p> </li>

<li><p><codeph>MakeSIS</codeph> can parse PKG files that are in UTF8 or UNICODE

formats. It supports both little-endian and big-endian UNICODE files. </p><note><codeph>MakeSIS</codeph> does

not convert text files to any other format; it packages them as-is into the

SIS files.</note></li>
