Is Not A Valid Pocket Pc Application Error
of this Blog<=== XXX.exe is not a valid Pocket PC Application: Troubleshooting guidelines It is not uncommon for a developer to see his/her program cannot run in the emulator or physical device, after struggling with code development, compilation error and build issues. Most typical error is like "XXX.exe is not a valid Pocket PC application", like the following screen cut. Hereby I am trying to write simple guidelines for troubleshooting such issue. 1. Check the Platform The executable might be built for a platform that does not match the target device. For example, an executable built for x86 emulator cannot run in any physical device, which supports ARM instruction sets. In WM5.0, Microsoft introduces a build target called "THUMB", which is a subset of ARM instruction sets. An executable built for "THUMB" can only run in WM5.0 device or emulator. You'll get the above error message if running such executable in Pocket PC 2003 or Smartphone 2003 device. The way to check the platform is to use "dumpbin /header ", and take a look at the line exposing the "machine" information. The way to fix platform issue is to change project settings in your IDE (EVC4 or Visual Studio 2005). Both IDEs allow you to manually modify the command line option /MACHINE. 2. Check the SubSystem An executable built for a lower subsystem (for example, 4.20) can run in a WM5.0 device, but not vice versa. If you try to start a program built for 5.0, you will get the warning "XXX is not a valid Pocket PC application". The way to check the subsystem is to use "dumpbin /header ", and take a look at the line exposing the "subsystem" information. The way to fix subsystem issue is to change project settings in your IDE (EVC4 or Visual Studio 2005). Both IDEs allow you to manually modify the command line option /SUBSYSTEM. 3. DLL HELL The previous two issues are easy to identify and fix, but the third one is very concealing and hard to troubleshoot. In general, if a program needs DLLs (who does not?), the DLL must either be present in the system, or already loaded into memory. If a required DLL is not available, the warning is clear and to the point: "Cannot find 'XXX.exe' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and file name are correct and all the required libraries are available." However, if the DLL is available or already loaded into memory, but the DLL does not export the required functions, CE OS could not verify that linker time dependencies are met. It shows a super-misleading warning "XXX.exe is not a valid Pocket PC application". It is hard to find which DLL causes the issue, and even h

With the exception of the Beta version of the MFC80u.dll, there should only currently be the RT

But unfortunately the bluetooth stack preinstalled on these devices isn't accepted by Labview Mobile applications, and the Widcomm stack in Labview is not compatible with this phone. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I know WM6.5 is officialy is not a unsupported, but the choice in new hardware with older WM grows rather thin. And I know the BT stack should work with WM6.5 and this BT hardware (because it works on a Xperia with WM6.5) I did the following procedure to try and get the program working: Labview BT stack Hard reset of device Turn on bluetooth, set to discoverable Via LV/Project Manager/ Windows Mobile 6 Device/ Install / "Support for Widcomm Bluetooth" install BT support on PDA, accept install on PDA. Soft reset PDA, after reset the message "'BTTrayCE' is not a valid Pocket PC Application" is shown, and it's not possible to turn on BT. By removing "BtCoreIf.dll" & "BtSdkCE30.dll" from the /Windows dir on the PDA, and soft reset, BT will turn on again. Start Labview application (StimCom CRE_PDA.exe) Select 'Search' in the connection VI StimCom CRE_PDA.exe will crash, and WM asks for error reporting notes: method above installs Widcomm stack for Windows mobile version 3. The program is listed on the PDA as "NI Labview Pocket PC Bluetooth support 7.1". Uninstalling this program from the 'remove programs' will fail. On the clean HTC image "BtSdkCE50.dll" and "BtSdkCE30.dll" are present in the Windows directory, so I assume that both v3 and v5 of the Widcomm stack are allready installed. This leads to the conclusion that Widcomm v3 stack is needed, but the one provided with Labview is
