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 Guide > Kernel and Hardware Services Guide > User Library +and File Server > File Server > File Server Client Side > The System +Drive.

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> + + + +

-v

-w

+ + +

-d

+ + +

-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 invalid eclipsing.
