The emulator from the SDK (Software Development Kit) will only run applications explicitely compiled for the emulator.
Applications intended to be run on an actual phone (compiled for the phone) will not run on the emulator.
In other words, you can't use the emulator to test .sis files that are intended to be installed on the phone.

install sis files in Emulator !!!
See if this will work:
1) Copy the SIS file to \Epoc32\Wins\c\nokia\installs directory 2) Start the emulator 3) In the emulator, go to Configurations->Apps Ctrl, select the SIS file and choose Install from Options.

I have some questions concerning your SIS file and your program : Is it correcly generated to work with WINS ? Have you check the .pkg file, perhaps you may have a /thumb or /armi stuff in it ? Have you checked the UID of the application you would like to install ? Are you using special APIs ? like telephony that are not available on WINS platform ?

Actually I am trying out with some sis file which I downloaded from the net.
these sis files may be for the real phones. But seeing your posts I guessed that it should also run.
Anyways if there is any specific king of sis files which we can only install in the emulator ..... could you please send me the detail.
Yes if you are downloading SIS File from the web, they will be compiled for ARM ( real phones). This means it's normal that they won't work for the Emulator (WINS). If you are yourself generating your SIS Files be sure to compile for WINS and then It'll work. So the file you can find on the web are for real phones, and cannot be launched with the emulator. When it's expressely mentioned on the web site, that the SIS File are also for WINS (I'm thinking about the Helix Player SIS File ) then you can install it on your emulator

hi, i cant understand what u say?! do i can run sis files that download from internet on emulator?!
All .sis files you are likely to find are compiled to be used on an actual phone. Such files will not contain any programs that you can run on the emulator. As stated, the emulator needs programs compiled for the emulator.
