Since, there is a big changes on the platform and SDK. So, does the
PocketPC2002 application able to run under the PocketPC2003 platform?

Even those compiled with ATL or MFC? Vanilla CE 3.0 apps won't run without
recompile on a 4.x machine if either was used.

I believe both ATL and MFC were re-compiled for 4.2, so yes, you'll have to
build against the new versions. Good point, I should be clear about "will
run without re-compiling" vs. "will run with a re-compile but no code
changes".

OK, I answered my own question. You do NOT need to copy the 2002 files into
a new 2003 project. When I first opened an existing MFC application in 4.2,
the platform manager only showed the standard sdk. What I missed was that
some of the configurations were no longer available, presumably due to
changes in nomenclature. When I added them back, the Active WCE
Configuration added POCKET PC 2003. By using my previous project setting
rather than the default, the project compiled with no error.

Regards, Karl
