Having some issues taking an application running on CE 4.2 device and running same app on desktop PC (XP SP2). Part of my problem may be with PC development enviroment which is Visual C++ 6.0. I'm planning on upgrading to Visual Studio 08' , but wanted to try to figure out why the app isn't running.

Took app from eVC++ and compiled for UNICODE for desktop application and changed entry point to wWinMainCRTStartup, program compiles but under debugger I get an access violation in module mfc42ud.dll.

Any links that anybody can suggest for porting a running CE app to the desktop?

Thanks for your post. I can't say we've done this before--we spend most of our time in CE Space here.

It looks like the MFC code might be where the trouble started, so you might start comparing those calls to what desktop Windows is looking for. Good luck!

Did you create a 'dummy' VS6 project and pull the sources in or just let VS6 use the "dsw/dsp" equivalents generated by EVC?

Thanks for the replies, kurtwl I think I'll try your suggestion of creating a dummy VS6 project with UNICODE and then pull the sources. I sort of did that as the original code ran on the desktop. Then it was ported to run in CE 4.2, with additional features, now has to run back on desktop. So I took original code "dsw/dsp" and pulled in the sources from eVC++. Think starting with a wizard generated app is way to go.
