UPX Shell

Wed Dec 12, 2012 9:41 pm

If installing software onto a Windows CE device you see "XXX is not a valid Windows CE application" But you are sure it is, you can try compressing the exefile with UPX Shell.

Some Windows CE builds can't seem to run large exefiles, but compressing them seems to work.

Download [Please Register or Login to download file] and install.
Start UPX Shell.
Click Open file/Open.
Navigate to the exefile.
Click Compress.
Select UPX 2.92b from the drop down menu.
Click Go.

Well Fatboyfun
I did it and run it.
But then message is changed and I get " cannot find QUE. exe".
So what can i do now?
Compressed file is not recognised as not found.
Normal file is not recognised as NOT WIN CE valid file...
And if back with running the Mortscript I only get "Win CE explorer screen" for three seconds before getting back to main screen

The error "Cannot find que.exe or one of it's components" usually means that a dll Garmin expects to find in the windows directory has been removed by the device manufacturer.

This error can be solved by scanning the uncompressed que.exe with dependency walker (on your PC) and checking all the dll's requested by Garmin are present on the device, if any are missing you can find a full set within the bowels of miopocket, just drop then into the same directory as que.exe.

Remember Garmin is meant for windows mobile not windows ce.
