Help: cannot launch .exe on SP 2002 emulator

Hi folks,

I got stuck here: I made my app using VS2003 and eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0.
When I tried to run it on the SP 2002 emulator, build is fine, connection to
emulator is fine, and download finished and emulator comes up. When I click
the Lauch button, an error window pops up saying "Cannot execute program". I
don't know what is wrong here. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks a lot,

Polo

Yes, I used Win32 x86 debug mode, and chose 2002 smartphone emulation.

Thanks for your inputs.

Not sure what's up with that. I would suggest upgrading to eVC 4 SP4. You
could hardly find any SP 2002 anyway.

have you run
C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce300\Smartphone 2002\tools\sp2002dps
/device /create
?

Hi riki,

After I saw your message, I tried your command, and then did a build. I
still got the same error: cannot execute program. But one thing is a bit
different from yours:
C:\Windows CE Tools\wce300\Smartphone 2002\tools\sp2002dps /device /create

Interesting thing is that Sp2002 and Sp2003 are in different "Windows CE
Tools".
C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\SMARTPHONE 2003\

I don't know if this path difference might be the cause.

Any other things I can try?

Thanks a lot,

Polo

ok, can you give some more details as to what your trying to do?
you said 'I made my app using VS2003 and eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0'
how did you do that? are you using c# or c++? what did you compile the
App in? (evc3, evc4 or vs2003)
how are you getting the app into the emulator? you say it's a 2002
emulator, but you said you found only the 2003 SDK installed?

Hi riki,

I installed both VC 2003 and eVC 3.0 on my machine, but I used only eVC 3.0
to edit, build and run my app. My app is in C++. After I finished the app, go
to eVC 3.0
Build --> Build MyApp.exe. All source files in the project will compile, and
generate exe file, and then the eVC will connect to SP 2002 emulator (I also
installed SP 2003 emulator, but I chose SP2002 emulator only because I have
SP 2002 device.), and download files till finished downloading. Then go to
Build --> ! Execute MyApp.exe. MyApp should run in the emulator, but I got
"cannot execute program".

Thanks a lot for your help.
