Installing .tar and .jar files

Hi
MartinDRich,



Welcome to the Nokia discussion boards!



Try these steps:

• You first need to connect your Nokia N8 to the computer containing the .jar file, once done you will see a notification in the top left corner of the screen – quickly tap this notification before it disappears and choose “Mass Storage”, make sure it says
  active just below

• Now that you have done this, you should find the .jar file that you wish to install and choose the Nokia N8, which will show as a storage device on PC’s, or on Mac’s it’s displayed as a storage device named “Untitled” – from this point click on the storage
  device and put the .jar file within the “Installs” folder.

• That the file is on your phone, you now need to install it. Eject your Nokia N8 device and disconnect it from the mobile phone. Now on your phone, press the Menu button (bottom left of the phone) and choose Settings > Application Manager > Installation
  files – now choose the file you put onto the phone in the earlier step.

It should now begin installing your app, once installed you can run it via the the Applications folder in the Menu.



Hope this helps you in solving yoru issue.



Regards,

.jar files not working

Hi Mohammed,

JAR (Java ARchive) is a package file format used to aggregate many Java class files into one file for distribution and is built on the
ZIP format. If you are having trouble opening these files, we suggesting reinstalling Java by following these steps:

• Open Settings from the Start menu.
• Select Apps, click on Java, then select
  Uninstall.
• Download and install Java from this link.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Zip to jar. N70

A .jar file is a zip format file. However, all .zip files do not contain Java programs.



If the .zip file is really a proper Java installation package, then all the "converting" you need is to rename it (or the extension).
