The questions here are

1. What tool are you using
2. How are you deploying

The WinMo device likely shipped with MFC 4.0 (mfcce400.dll) in ROM. You can check the \Windows folder to verify that. Apps built with Studio target MFC 8.0 or later. This measn that you must deploy the MFC binaries with your application, and they need to match whether the app is a debug or a release build.

It's also worth noting here that Platform Builder doesn't even have an MFC component in it any more. This is a very strong indicator that Microsoft doesn't want you to be using the abomination known as MFC. Microsoft is not working on, fixing or updating MFC and it's got known bugs in it. I certainly would never recommend to anyone starting a new project that they use MFC.
