Busy re-installing. If you are correct about this I owe you a couple of beers. I will let you know what I find out.

Thank you for your reply.

Hi MrDeath

I compiled everything as per your instructions and everything went well except the step

.... dir and type qmake -tp vc

That returned with all the qmake options, but no matter as configure created a .sln file which I opened.

I built the examples.sln and visual studio compiles it happily.
========== Rebuild All: 144 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

I built using Windows CE device. I copied the collidingmice.exe as well as all the dll's from the lib directory of my qt-embedded directory. However I still get the "collidingmice.exe is not a Windows CE application. I also tried fridgemagnets.. same behaviour.

I then rebuilt the project as a SH4 Win32 which is the ARM build (the CE device has an ARM processor) but still exactly the same behaviour.

I'm feeling like a moron as this obviously works and the devices that I am using are commercial pda's that I have used time and time again.

Any ideas most welcome, no matter how strange. Right now I am contemplating buying a new hard-drive and reinstalling vista and visual studio.

i forgot to tell you that you only need to go to a single example dir.. no need to build 144 example... anywyas.. were you able to run the application in simulator? what does the target box shows? (Target box means the little lineedit at the toolbars which shows the current target platform for eg. "win32 release")

Hi MrDeath

I have built with the Target box showing:
HITACHI 7750 HARP:SH4 Win32
Windows CE Device

For both builds the Target device which is a Centrality ARM926 still throws the "XXX is not a CE application.

I am not sure what the "simulator" is that you talk about. I have the Microsoft CE 5.0 Emulator which I think is installed as part of the STANDARDSDK_500. The emulator also throws the XXX is not a CE application.

Haha... if this was easy then everyone would be doing it. Standard Embedded development diffculties. I sometimes envy the desktop developers... they have it so easy sometimes.

There must be something weird at work here. Thank you very much for your time. It is appreciated.
