The Application Compatibility tool scans dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) and executable files for deprecated APIs. For information about the deprecated APIs, see Obsolete Kernel APIs.
Usage
To scan a DLL or an executable file for the usage of a deprecated API, use the CEAppCompat.exe application. This application is installed in the %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\OAK\Bin\i386 directory. Run this tool in an x86 OS build window, and run the tool from the installed folder. The following code shows the usage of this application.
ceappcompat -i [folder name / dll name / exe name] -o [output file name]
Dependencies
This application depends on Link.exe (x86 version) and C run-time DLLs. If you are running this application from a window other than the x86 OS build window, then set the Path environment variable to include the Path to Link.exe, Msvcr80.dll, and Mspdb80.dll.
