I think I've got the answer by myself.
Just run the .exe directly, instead of running epoc

its more like a stop-gap solution than a correct one!!
I would say for your problem of not finding your application in the installed folder : check your registration file.

Thanks for the reply!
The program I tried to run is from the SDK's example, do you mean the example have something wrong?
Since I am pretty new to symbian OS, can you tell me which one is the registration file?

Guess you are talking about S60 2nd FP3. I dont know about that edition really, but in third edition for example if you are talking about helloworld, there would be Helloworldbasic_reg.rss in the data folder. You have to check for any relevant things for your edition(???am not sure like i said of 2nd ed)
Edit: But I thought 2nd edition had an app not an exe. So what edition are you talking really..3rd edition??...

S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, Supporting Feature Pack 1
I guess this is the full name

I was confused with your first post which said
For S60 3rd ed FP1 it might have the same helloworldbasic_reg.rss kind of file in the data folder. Check if that registration file for your application is there.

Failed to find that file....

you have to write it yourself then.
For the simple helloworldbasic from the example in the sdk, it looks something like this :
#include "Helloworldbasic.rls"
#include <appinfo.rh>
#include <Helloworldbasic.rsg>
UID2 KUidAppRegistrationResourceFile
UID3 0xA000017F
RESOURCE APP_REGISTRATION_INFO
{
app_file="HelloWorldBasic";
localisable_resource_file = STRING_helloworldbasic_loc_resource_file_1;
localisable_resource_id = R_HELLOWORLDBASIC_LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO;
embeddability=KAppNotEmbeddable;
newfile=KAppDoesNotSupportNewFile;
}
Write one which suits your needs making appropriate changes in the above.
Also I would suggest you to go through a few 'getting started' articles available on newlc, forum nokia sites...helps a lot to understand why codes are the way they are.

Also remember to make changes in the mmp to reflect the same like :
START RESOURCE HelloWorldBasic_reg.rss#ifdef WINSCW
TARGETPATH \private\10003a3f\apps
#else
TARGETPATH \private\10003a3f\import\apps
#endif
END //RESOURCE

Thanks very much for your help!
I guess there are a lot of things I should take a look.

Why is that _reg.rss file should go under \private\10003a3f\import\apps for target other than winscw? According to me the path will be same (\private\10003a3f\apps) for reg files for any target. Or is it that I am missing something?
Cheers,
Sri

I myself am using \private\10003a3f\apps for any target in my project.
I had pasted that code from the helloworldbasic example given along with the SDK in the 3rd edition MR and didnt think it necessary to change anything.

Please put "Textshell " in your epoc.ini..so that u r able to see your console base app on emulator.
