I've been playing around with getting the demo working on a WinCE GPS device (actually the Airspace Aware device), and one limitation is the fact that the launch .exe file has to have a particular name. It works fine when I rename SkyDemon.exe but then the sync function from the laptop won't find the software properly. I've ended up having to have two copies of the .exe file with different names to get around this.
Would there be any way to uncouple the name of the .exe file from the sync function? Would probably help the app to work on lots more WinCE devices that have similar filename requirements.

I guess I'm thinking from a unix background where checking for library or header files or even md5 checksums would be a more usual way (I think) of checking for a software location. It doesn't really matter though, it's my own fault for re-using kit not designed to run an arbitary .exe filename (although I'm sure there are many devices out there which are the same).
It's a limitation of the FAT filesystems on SD cards that prevents hard linking. I never knew that other Windows filesystems could do filesystem links!
