The emulator Main pane defines 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.
