Are there any required DLLs to run certain programs in WinCe 2.01?

I tried installing Conduits Pocket Artist v1 from the official website for HPC, got the MIPS cabinet file for my Casio, installed correctly with no errors, but I RUN the program I get this error shown attachment.

It looks like it is missing some DLLs maybe? I am not good at figuring out what is required in older Windows CE devices

Can you try copying the .exe from your PsPC to your computer, and running the .exe through
https://www.dependencywalker.com/

Theoretically, it should show any .dlls that the .exe requires

Yes, DW said that COMMCTRL.DLL, COREDLL.DLL, and PAJPEG.DLL were required.

I know for a fact that COREDLL.DLL is a critical dynamic link library.

PAJPEG.DLL is already in the installation directory and COMMCTRL.DLL is already in the \Windows\ directory so what gives?

I’m not sure but go
https://www.conduits.com/products/artist/download.asp

Go to bottom and click the host installer file for 1.14. Perhaps there’s the palm sized pc version in there that may work?
I suspect the hpcfactor version only has the HPC version.
Try extracting the setup file to find the palm sized pc mips version

I copied your link and pasted it into the Wayback Machine, downloaded the first archived URL and extracted the cab with 7-zip and installed it into the device and lo and behold it launched. I don't know what version I downloaded before but now all I have to do is find a way to activate it.

EDIT: I also copied the PAJPEG.DLL to the \Windows\ directory and that fixed the launch error.

It looks like only v3 is available for sale still so:
I emailed them asking if v1 is still
Available for purchase
And also in the meantime, please search “drawing” in the SCL. I found a bunch (and also there were a bunch before me) of drawing programs in the SCL. Check those too

I emailed them about 2 years ago with no reply if you get one that is a miracle. btw where is the purchase link for v3?

I spoke too soon
The purchase links are all dead it looks like
Even for v3
I’ll do some digging if they don’t reply and see if I can find their personal email somewhere
Does anyone know their name of the developer so I can locate them ?

I found this https://www.patterson.dev/ by reverse searching the Email profile photo

It seems like it is his personal account! I can try to email him!

edit: I sent him a email. we will see.

Keep us in the loop and let us know what happens. If no response
, maybe I’ll wait about 2-3 months and try again (I don’t want to badger so quickly).

Here's a thread with a few more PsPC progs for you
