I have created an application for Windows CE for a mobile device. When I debug the application from VS the application loads and runs fine. However when I build a CAB file for the installation it does not. The first time I launch the application after installing it, it throws an "TypeLoadException". However when I try again it works fine.
It throws the error the first time I try to access a DLL from the application.
I would like to post as much code as you guys need, however I'm a bit unsure on what's relevant. Here is the INF file I used to make the CAB file with CABWIZ.exe:

Thank you very much in advance for your help!
This was a very weird error. I solved it by updating the API DLL I was using the the device. Very werid when the error did not happen when debugging.. Oh well, guess it is solved.
