    To check if the necessary files have been extracted successfully, look for the following text (or similar) that appears in the command prompt window:

    Final: \epoc32\

    INFO  Connecting to N:\epoc32\data\CDB.db [Please wait]
    ..
    To get help on the options for each command type:
        CDB help <command>
    Available commands are as follows:
        ADD: Add code to the database.

    .

    If you see an error like this:

    'CDB' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

    It means that your path is pointing to a wrong epoc tree. To fix this, check your environment variable 'EPOCROOT', if this is set to '\', you need to be in the same directory as epoc32 directory.

  3. If you get this far without any problems, it means your CDB is ready to run.
