    10 Product Description:
       
    11 ====================
       
    12 Launcher is a testing utility application aimed to help test the launching of
       
    13 applications installed in the system, both on user side disk drives and on
       
    14 ROM. Launcher tests if an application can be launched and then, if the launch
       
    15 has failed, reports the possible reason for the failure. It is a very useful
       
    16 application when checking the build as the user can instantly see if the
       
    17 applications work. Launcher can also be used when testing binary
       
    18 compatibility issues because it can reveal any DLL files missing from the
       
    19 device.
       
    20 
       
    21 Main Features:
       
    22 ==============
       
    23 - Show a list of installed applications in all drives
       
    24 - Launch selected applications and read their statuses from threads
       
    25 - In case of a failure, report thread's exit type, reason and category
       
    26 - Show missing DLL files required by the binary to be launched
       
    27 - Show problems on the UI and print all cases to a log file
       
    28 - Generate a list of DLLs in the device to a file
       
    29 - Analyse binary compatibility of system DLLs comparing them to a user
       
    30   given reference data. Report any binary compatibility issues or missing
       
    31   DLL files.

    42 Installation Notes:
       
    43 ===================
       
    44 Launcher is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the
       
    45 ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, a .sis file can be found under the sis-
       
    46 directory, but the user needs to sign it with their own developer certificate.
       
    47 In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the
       
    48 internal\sis directory.
       
    49 
       
    50 When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are
       
    51 needed:
       
    52   PowerMgmt
       
    53   ReadDeviceData
       
    54   WriteDeviceData
       
    55   AllFiles
       
    56   ReadUserData
       
    57   WriteUserData
       
    58 
       
    59 When building Launcher against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your SDK
       
    60 environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to the
       
    61 instructions under the "envpatcher" directory.

    79 =============
       
    80 
       
    81 Fails in a test despite the application is working correctly
       
    82 ------------------------------------------------------------
       
    83 - Some application may exit immediately after a launch. This can be
       
    84   normal behavior and should be checked manually. Such application is, for example, 
       
    85   irapp.exe.
       
    86   
       
    87 Binary compatibility check support
       
    88 ----------------------------------
       
    89 - Currently, only uncompressed and deflate compressed ELF binaries are
       
    90   supported. This means that for example WINSCW is not supported.
