platformRequest() will launch a Symbian application if you provide the URL of a file, and that type of file is associated with a Symbian application. For example, if the file is a ".jpg", then the image viewer is opened.

You cannot start any application you like.

If you need to start an application to act as a server for a MIDP app, you need to make it "autostart".
