The options shown in the Main page differ based upon the type of launch configuration. Generally, the options fall into these choices:
The Symbian OS Emulation launch configuration uses the Main page to define the process to be launched by the emulator.
The behavior that occurs when launching a debug session varies based upon the SDK. Normally, starting a debug session launches the emulator (epoc.exe) and you must then navigate to your application and open it. However, starting a debug session for an .exe file will, in most cases, launch the .exe directly. This starts the emulator and then opens your application automatically. Note that some SDKs do not support this behavior. In those cases you must still open your application in the emulator manually.

Project | The project to associate with this debug launch configuration. Click Browse to select a different project. |
Process to launch | The path to the emulator or executable to launch. For Symbian OS 9.1 the emulator path is required. For Symbian OS 9.2 and later the path to the executable should be used. Click Browse to select a different emulator. |
The Symbian OS Application TRK launch configuration uses the Main page to defines the project and the process to launch on the target device.

Remote process to launch | The absolute path of the remote executable to launch on the target device. The binary to debug may be stored on one of several memory locations, the most common are:
In the event a program is not launching, verify that the path is correct for the memory location where the binary resides. |
Use connection | Choose the remote connection type to associate with this launch configuration. Click New to add a new connection, or Edit to modify the current one. |
The Symbian OS System TRK, Sophia, and Trace32 launch configurations uses the Main page to defines the project and the executable to launch on the target device.
