I can open a Pocket PC Explorer window on a directory and see two
executables and four DLLs (just as there should be), but I recently
discovered that a window on that directory opened by ActiveSync's
Explore button does not display the executables. I am using ActiveSync
4.2 (Build 4876). Is this a configuration problem, a feature, or a
bug?
-------
I am also using Visual Studio 2005 (VS8) and the Pocket PC 2003 SE
emulator. VS8 uploads executables to a subdirectory (call it 'abc') of
"Program Files"and I manually copied several MFC8.0 DLLs into that
directory. I wonder if the missing executables in ActiveSync's Explore
directory are related to Visual Studio's debugger complaining:

"Unable to start program '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\abc\xyz.exe'. An error
occurred that usually indicates a corrupt installation (code
0x8007007e). If the problem persists, repair your Visual Studio
installation via 'Add or Remove Programs' in Control Panel."

The error only occurs using debug mode executables - release mode
executables run fine. The following ARMv4 DLLs are in that directory:
MFC80U.dll, MFC80UD.dll, msvcr80.dll, msvcr80d.dll. All of the DLLs
appear in both the Pocket PC Explorer and the ActiveSync Explore
directory. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

Probably has to do with hiding system files or something. Pocket PC devices
are very reluctant to give you just a plain old complete list of
everything...

Are you sure that you copied the MFC DLLs for Pocket PC? Desktop ones will
never work, of course, given that the processor type is different.
