Bug: Sansa e200V2 simulator ALT+F4 fails
Llorean:
Just as a note for that bug report, the "reported version" shouldn't be 3.4 (as 3.4 only refers to the actual 3.4 release, not any later builds) and your version number is also written wrong (they don't include two dashes).
It's also a relatively out of date version, and we ask that bug reports be against the most recent version of the code available. The simulator is a development tool, and you should generally be building your own rather than depending on a random person's outdated hosted versions.

Thanks for the feedback.

OK - noted.

Where on the simulator distribution should I look for the correct version number? I find none in the regular. exe properties.

That was the latest version available to me, since I don't have build facilities.

I was using it for "Test other devices for working on the Manual." as per http://rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator/

Are the "unofficial (but trusted) pre-compiled Windows versions of the simulators" (http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/UiSimulator#Download) found here: http://rasher.dk/rockbox/simulator/ acceptable?

The same place you find version numbers in Rockbox. As a clue, check the manual before asking questions.

If they were, I wouldn't have been saying "you should build your own" but rather "you should build your own, or use the ones from rasher.dk"
They're often out of date. When they're out of date, they can be missing whole features, or have controls completely different than current Rockbox. While I expect your problem still exists in them, an assumption that it does should never be made - if you're filing a bug report it should be against the most recent version possible.
The tools necessary to compile Rockbox and its simulators are free and available for all the major OSes, and the instructions are relatively simple.

I was expecting a version number specific to the simulator, but if it is the same as Rockbox for device, fine.

I checked the only manual I've found for the simulator, and it didn't answer. Perhaps because, as you say, it is only in the wiki (http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/UiSimulator), hence unofficial.

I think you're mistaken. There is no such project requirement - see http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/FlySprayHowto .
And I am glad there is not - such a requirement would unduly hamper reporting.

You have pointed out yourself that the wiki can be incomplete and outdated.
