Hi,

I have written a sample .c program (hello world), compiled using
armcc/armlink to generate sample.exe. I have tested it using armsd and it
works fine. Is it possible to run this executable on Treo 700w (running
Windows Mobile 5)? When i try doing it, getting an error saying "the file is
not signed or one of its components cannot be found".

Any inputs?

Regards
Shyam

See WM5.0 security model
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/.../wmsecurity.asp).
Palm Treo 700w should be an one-tier-prompt device.

Just click YES to the prompt to see whether your application runs. If
still not, possibly armcc requires a runtime library which is not
loaded to your device.

You often get this message when a dll can't be found. I've seen it a lot when
copying a debug EXE to the device and forgetting to copy debug dll's to the
device (the device only has release DLLs installed).

I've often wish that error message was a bit more informative.
