"app" is not a valid Win32 application - help?

Gentleman,
Being a newbie to this H/PC thing (guess what - I got this A-11 for free, and with some luck I found a serial cable to be bought ), I've been stuck on an error I couldn't find a way to evade.
I found a few apps for WinCE 1.0, but for 80% of them I got the message "app" is not a valid Win32 application when trying to run the .exe file.
Could anyone give me a hint? I've already tried changing the file settings to run under compatibility mode (Win95 and NT4.0), but didn't get any success.

Oh, btw, I'm running WinXP SP3.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you're trying to run the device executable on your desktop machine. Try copying the executable over to your A-11 and executing it on there.

Well, here's something I hadn't thought about before.
I've tried to move the files inside the A-11, but it didn't work...

...but then I've answered myself my second question: the A-11 packs a SH3 processor.
So, when I copied the OTHER .exe file in it, everything went on fine.

Hey pal, thanks a lot - I just couldn't find an answer for that
