I have developed one application and generated its .sis file.That application is running on Emulator finely but when I installed it on my mobile, it get installed but I can't see it in Menu. Please help me.
Can you check what is the value of the following variable in your aif file... hidden = KAppNotHidden; // The value should be KAppNotHidden so that the application icon appear in the application menu

AIF files are also known as "Application Information File".... you will find this file in your... it is generated from your YourAppAIF.rss file... I think you will find this rss folder in your data folder. Check the following link for details
; ; Installation file for MSecure application ; ;Languages &EN ; ; UID is the app's UID ; #{"M-Secure"},(0x0BC30C68),1,0,0 ; ;Supports Series 60 v 2.0 ;This line indicates that this installation is for the Series 60 platform v2.0 ;This line must appear _exactly_ as shown below in the sis file ;If this line is missing or incorrect, the sis file will not be able ;to be installed on Series 60 v2.0 platforms (0x101F7960), 0, 0, 0, {"Series60ProductID"} ; ; Four files to install ; "C:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\Epoc32\release\thumb\urel\MSecure.app" -"!:\system\apps\MSecure\MSecure.app" "C:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\Epoc32\data\z\system\apps\MSecure\MSecure.rsc" -"!:\system\apps\MSecure\MSecure.rsc" "C:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\Epoc32\data\z\system\apps\MSecure\MSecure_caption.rsc" -"!:\system\apps\MSecure\MSecure_caption.rsc" "C:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\Epoc32\data\z\system\apps\MSecure\MSecure.aif" -"!:\system\apps\MSecure\MSecure.aif"
Its your application name that is causing the problem....
#{"M-Secure"},(0x0BC30C68),1,0,0
your application name is "M-Secure" and you are installing ur files in "MSecure" which is different... thats you can't able to see the icon in application menu.
Change your application name to "MSecure" and check
#{"MSecure"},(0x0BC30C68),1,0,0

I looked in that file but there is no option like that. Here is my "Myappaif.rss" file code...............
RESOURCE AIF_DATA
  {
  app_uid=0x0BC30C68;
  num_icons=2;
  embeddability=KAppNotEmbeddable;
  newfile=KAppDoesNotSupportNewFile;
  }
// End of File

your application name is "M-Secure" and you are installing ur files in "MSecure" which is different... thats you can't able to see the icon in application menu.
Change your application name to "MSecure" and check
#{"MSecure"},(0x0BC30C68),1,0,0

Because I can't see anything wrong with pkg file....

1. Hidden in AIF file
2. Apps directory under \apps\ isn't the same as the actual .APP file name
3. UID is allready in use.
I suspect it's 3.
Try changing the 3'rd UID of your app in your MMP file, and also in your PKG file.
