Here is another anwser Bill
"
A "normal" Win32 exe will not run on WinCE, it's just not going to happen
(natively, unless someone writes a stub/wrapper). As for requiring a cmd.exe
for it, if it's a real Win32 program this won't make any difference, plus
there is no "cmd.exe" for WinCE anyway. If it's a flat exe, it still won't
make any difference because you can't run it, unless you get the source and
recompile it. Remember, Win32 is so called because it runs on Intel(-ish,
you know what I mean) 32bit architecture. WinCE runs on the StrongARM
processor, which obviously uses ARM assembler (or XScale, the new 406mhz
ones). If it's an MFC app (from the sounds of it, it's not), you might be in
luck as you can port MFC code (if it's well written) direct from Win32 to
WinCE, just changing the linklibs. But again, you need the source to do
that. So unless the author/someone recodes it, you're out of luck. Sorry"
