Nokia - Qt - Install QMobility API Libraries into N8 Phone

install QMobility Library into n8 phone
install .sis file

goto: [Nokia Qt SDK installation dir] \ Symbian\sis\qtmobility_1.0.2_for_n8.sis
(for example, in my system, the path was: "C:\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\sis\qtmobility_1.0.2_for_n8.sis)

double click on the above file and the .sis file will be installed on your phone (you just need to hit "ok" in pop up windows on both your laptop and the n8 phone)

*However, for some reason, the double click on .sis file on laptop did not seen to work on my system (the instructor suspected it might be due to some incompatibilty with my system), so I had to find a workaround:
workaround steps:
1. connect nokia n8 phone to latptop via usb, and access it as a mass storage device
2. on your laptop, go to the following path: Nokia N8-00 \ Mass Memory \ Installs
3. copy the .sis file into the above "Installs" folder (on the phone)
4. then, from your phone, go to  Menu -> Settings -> Application Manager -> Installation Files -> click on the .sis file you want to install
