Symptoms

You create a Virtual CEPC x86 project or some other reference device project by using the software development kit (SDK). You put the project on a Windows Embedded Compact 7 device, and then create a DLL project. When the DLL project is loaded through the LoadLibrary function, the "DllMain" DLL entry is not called. This is because the file is loaded as a data file and not as a executable file.

Note This issue does not occur if the DLL project is built as an operating system subproject.
