Hello,
I need to remotely execute a program on a Windows CE device (a pocket
PC) from a desktop PC using Visual Basic 6. I am trying to use the
function CECreateProcess in the RAPI.dll, but I cannot get that to
work. My call is thus: CeCreateProcess(CESourceFile, "", 0, 0, False,
0, 0, 0, 0, lpProcessInformation) with CESourceFile being the path and
name of the executable on the WinCE device.
It goes right through that statement without returning an error, but
it doesn't actually run the program. I have CEReadFile, and most of
the other RAPI functions working, just not the CeCreateProcess.
Also, I would like the program on the PC to wait for the execution of
the WinCE executable to finish before going on.
Does anyone know how to use the CeCreateProcess properly, or know an
alternate method for running a remote WinCE program (and waiting for
it to finish)?

Thanks!
