SymSdks won't show any SDK

Project: Symbian SDK switcher
Type: Defect
Priority: 3:Normal
State: Verified
Reported by: StephaneLenclud

Details

Someone was having problem with only two SDKs installed on a WinXP machine. We are having the same problem on a Win2K machine with only one SDK.

In both cases the devices command works just fine when executed from the command line.

All we can guess and until further investigation is that SymSdks won't work if you have only one or two SDKs installed.

Discussion

The path for cmd.exe was hard coded to c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. I'm guessing that was actually the issue.

Using ComSpec causes problem when ComSpec is defined using another environment variable. Like: %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe

Solution

We are now using ComSpec environment variable to get the path for cmd.exe. Should work on most computers now.
