I hope I am in the correct newsgroup. I have the following error message
from Visual Studio when launching my application with Visaul Studio 2005 :

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

The application is deployed on Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator. The
application is a Visual C++ "MFC Smart Device application", using MFC as a
shared library.
If I comment most of my code, the application work fine (but does nothing of
course) so I would assume this is not a signature/deployment issue.

But I have no idea what can generate this message and I cannot use the
debugger since the error occurs before it hits my InitInstance( ).

Pure speculation at this point, but do you distribute the MFC dlls with your
app?
I do not know CE, but perhaps that version of MFC is not available by default?
Same story for the CRT dlls.
