Can I install .SIS files from within an NokiaQt Symbian application?

Question

I'm developing something like a app-store in Android/iOS. Hence I like to know whether I can trigger the installation of downloaded .SIS files to the user, prompting him accept permissions, if any and confirm the installation.

Is that possible?

Answer 1

Two ways to do this:

1. Use RSWInstLauncher (NOT RSWInstSilentLauncher unless you want to avoid all user interaction)
2. Open the SIS file directly - RApaLsSession::StartDocument()

Answer 2

it is possible. I have done it for one of my client's application. It does not need any user interaction.

You can use the WRT widgets like the OVI store. See Forum Nokia for examples.
