    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.

    35 What's New in v3.7.0
       
    36 ====================
       
    37 - Feature: Binary compatiblity check for DLLs, which checks UID1, UID2, UID3, SID
       
    38 and capability values of system DLLs against an XML-formatted input file.
       
    39 - Fix: Launcher panics when comparing a large DLL list against system DLLs.
       
    40 - Fix: Launcher panics when application launching is cancelled.

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

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