First, I think Microsoft has used "NET" way too often, and has thus
made it highly ambiguous. In particular, I _think_ the "CE.NET" you
reference is version 4.x (where x is 1 or 2) of the Windows CE
operating system, rather than .NET programming languages and thus the
CF (Compact Framework, which is the runtime for programs built using
.NET languages). If you used eVC to build your program(s), then CF is
irrelevant; neither its presence nor its absence should have any
effect.

I don't use eVB, so can't help much. Installing the runtime was the
only suggestion I might have made, and you already tried that
.
It is certainly possible to use eVC 3 to build a program that runs
under version 4.x; I do all the time. It is also easy to build
programs that don't:
1) If you're using MFC, I believe the MFC libraries included with 4.x
are incompatible with apps built using eVC 3. I don't use MFC, but
_maybe_ static linking would bypass this problem.
2) If you build for Pocket PC, your applications probably use
functions (SHCreateMenu for one) that are supported _only_ on Pocket
PCs. That means your apps won't run on any of several devices that run
4.x, but are not Pocket PCs.
3) The utility that actually loads CAB files is likely to issue a
warning saying your app was built for an earlier version and might not
run. Users _can_ ignore this warning. For details about how you can
eliminate it use google
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up the
warning message (paste the actual text into the "Exact Phrase" box).
This problem/feature has been discussed in this newsgroup several
times, and Microsoft has a solution.
4) If none of the above quite covers your situation, please provide
more details.
