SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows CE 5.0, when you use an OEM-provided Platform SDK to build the Debug configuration for a Windows CE 5.0 application that uses an ARMV4I-based device, you receive the following linker error message:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol &quot;void __cdecl ConstructElements(class CString *,int)&quot;



CAUSE
This problem occurs if the ARMV4I version of the Mfcce400d.dll file that is provided in Windows CE 5.0 does not export the C function or the C++ function that contains the following code example: void __cdecl ConstructElements(class CString *,int) When this error occurs, a linker error message is generated.
