KEYWORDS:kbnokeyword kbide kbMFC kbVC600bug kbOSWinCEsearch kbOSWinCE200bug kbGrpDSMFCATL

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows CE, version 2.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to run a WCE MFC EXE project, you may get an error box, titled:

   <Program>.exe - Unable To Locate DLL

This is the message inside the error box:

   The dynamic link library mfcce20d.dll could not be found in the specified
   path...

If you're running a WCE MFC EXE with COM support, you may get an error box,
titled:

   Assertion Failed!

This is the message inside the error box:

   <unknown application> : File dllole.cpp, Line 65

If you're building a WCE MFC ActiveX control or WCE MFC automation DLL, you may
get the following error:

   Failed : Registration of <control>.ocx. Error = 0000007E

CAUSE
=====

All of the above problems occur because the run-time DLLs are not copied to the
correct directories by the VCCE Toolkit Setup program.

RESOLUTION
==========

Using Windows NT Explorer, copy the following files

   MFCCE20.DLL
   MFCCE20D.DLL
   OLECE20.DLL
   OLECE20D.DLL

from

   \Program Files\DevStudio\WCE\MFC\LIB\WCE200\X86EM

to the following location:

   \Program Files\Windows CE Platform SDK\wce\emul\hpc\windows

You also need to copy the same files using Osviewer.exe (Object Store Viewer).
The Osviewer.exe file is located in the \Program Files\Windows CE Platform
SDK\wce\bin directory. When you run this program, it lists your C drive with the
addition of Emulator Database and Emulator Files. Copy the Mfcce20.dll,
Mfcce20d.dll, Olece20.dll, and Olece20d.dll files from

   \Program Files\DevStudio\WCE\MFC\LIB\WCE200\X86EM

to the following location:

   \Emulator Files\Windows

NOTE: The above directories are the default directories when you install the VCCE
Toolkit, and may be different on your machine.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The above case is for emulation. When targeting the actual CE device, the same
DLLs must be copied to the Windows directory on the CE device. Use the "Mobile
Devices" tool to do this. The DLLs are located in the "C:\Program
Files\DevStudio\WCE\MFC\LIB\WCE200\WCESH" or C:\Program
Files\DevStudio\WCE\MFC\LIB\WCE200\WCEMIPS" directory, depending on the type of
chip on the CE device (SH3 or MIPS).
