Hi all!

This may be the dumbest question ever posted to this forum, but I have a client who would like to know if applications that were optimized for Win 3.1/95/98/NT can be installed on Windows CE. Is this possible? Any information on this will be helpful......Thanks!

Nope. The API's for WinCE heavily cut down from Win16/Win32. Any software would need recompiling not only from Desktop windows but if Windows CE is before PPC2002 for a specific chip (sh, Mips or arm)
