Does the target device have the MFC runtimes on it? They also have to be the ones your app is built for. Be aware that eVC 4.0 used mfcce400.dll, which did not ship with Platform Builder 6.0 at all (in fact IIRC MFC isn't even in the CE 6.0 OS catalog and Studio '08 used a newer MFC version for devices). You'll have to distribute the mfcce400 binaries (they're in the eVC SDKs) along with your app.
