Re: How to run a MFC application exe on WinCE 5.0

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Did you include MFC support in your OS image, along with whatever else your
application might need? If the app is built to load MFC dynamically, it
expects it in the OS.

One thing you can do is use the dumpbin utility on the application to view
the import libraries it is expecting. That will tell you what it is
expecting to see in the image, and give you a clue as to what you might be
missing.
