Question:
How can I run an EPOCEXE file in the emulator?

Answer:
There are two ways to do this:
  • navigate to and select the EPOCEXE file in the file system, then click on it to run it.
  • make it look like an application. Copy MyEpocExe.Dll into system\apps\MyEpocExe directory. Rename this file to "MyEpocExe.app". The icon will appear on the emulator, and a single tap will launch it. This is particularly useful for the UIQ emulator where a shell application doesn't exist.
