SYMPTOMS
========
Attempting to run an application built with the products listed above results in
the following message:
'<app-name>' is not a valid Windows CE application.
where <app-name> is the name of the application being run.
CAUSE
=====
The application was not built for the correct processor platform.
RESOLUTION
==========
You can determine what processor is used on a specific device by clicking
[Start|Settings|System|General]. The processor type is displayed in the
"System:" section under the heading "Processor Type:".
To build for a particular processor platform, your Visual C++ project must
contain a configuration for that platform and the configuration must be the
active configuration when you build the application.
- Use the following steps to select the active configuration:
- Choose [Build|Set Active Configuration...] from the Microsoft Developer
Studio menu bar.
- Select the configuration for the desired processor Platform and click
[OK].
If the desired configuration is not present, use the next procedure in this
article to add one.
- Use the following steps to create a new configuration:
- Choose [Build|Configurations...] and click the [Add...] button.
- Choose the new processor platform in the "Platform:" field.
- Choose a configuration name and a configuration to copy settings from,
then click [OK].
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
