PRB: Building on Windows 95/98/Me Reports "Error spawning empfile.exe" (177433)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows CE 1.0
- Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows CE 2.0
This article was previously published under Q177433 SYMPTOMS
When you build a project under Microsoft Visual C++ versions 5.0 or 6.0
with the Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows CE product installed, the
following message appears in the build output window:
Error spawning empfile.exe
CAUSE
The application is being built for the "Win32 (WCE x86em)" platform on
Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millemmium Edition (Me). Windows CE Emulation is not supported these platforms.
RESOLUTION
The Windows CE emulation development facility requires Microsoft Windows
NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. If a standard Intel application was intended, select or add a
configuration for the "Win32" platform.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
