The devices.exe tool allows to manage your Symbian SDKs. The tool makes it easier to switch between several SDKs and seamlessly invokes the correct tools from the chosen SDK. More information can be found at:

Can I set the Series60 6.1 SDK as my default device using devices.exe ?

You need to do the following.....

> devices -add C:\symbian\6.0\Series60\ C:\symbian\6.0\shared\ @v6.1:com.nokia.sdk
> devices -setdefault @v6.1:com.nokia.sdk

After you have set the device make sure that your PATH environment variable does not reference the Series60 SDK. It is advisable to unset the EPOCROOT environment variable before running any commands.
