From: Allan Phillips on 3 Oct 2008 11:58 I have an Pocket PC app that runs fine within: "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator". However, when I try to run it on the target PDA I get the "Not a valid Win32 application" error (0x800700C1). The platform it has been built for is: "Pocket PC 2003 (ARMV4)". On the PDA Settings/System/About/Version shows: Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14235.2.0.0) (c) 1996 - 2004 Microsoft Corporation. Processor: Intel(R) PXA272 Memory: 122.04 MB Should I be able to run this application on the above PDA? Possibly of interest, when I attempt to run the application using emulator: "Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator" I get the 0x800700C1 error. Also, Depends.exe shows only three DLLs that it can't find (COREDLL.DLL, COMMCTRL.DLL, and AYGSHELL.DLL). It also shows CPU="Thumb" and Subsystem="WinCE 2.0 + GUI" for the .EXE file. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
From: nvmd_2008 on 3 Oct 2008 23:32 Hello Allan, Was it a C++ or a .NET application? It could be that the device you are trying to run it on is application locked and therefore will reject any unsigned application. You may be able to remove the lock using Device Security Manager (available from within VS2008 or as an add-in for VS2005) or by using SDAApplicationUnlock (http://www.gpcarreon.com/SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip) > I have an Pocket PC app that runs fine within: "Windows Mobile 5.0 > Pocket PC Emulator".

From: Allan Phillips on 4 Oct 2008 08:04 It is a C++ application built using VS2005. I have been able to build a couple of other, though simpler, apps with VS2005 and C++ that run just fine on the PDA so I don't think it could be locked. Also, this application won't run in the "Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator" either. There shouldn't be any locks within the emulator. Allan.

That strongly suggests you are using functions that are either not supported at all, or need something not normally installed on the target. So I suggest either starting with simple app that works and adding until the app fails, or starting with your app that doesn't work and subtracting until the app does work. > >Also, this application won't run in the "Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator" either. >There shouldn't be any locks within the emulator.

Thanks Robert. I've just had one thought - this app was written using MFC. Is it necessary to include extra DLLs when building a Windows Mobile app that makes use of MFC?
