Cannot debug: No process is on the other end of the pipe.

Hello.

I'm totally new in Qt and have a problem which I couldn't solve by myself.

I have configured Qt 4.6.3 for Windows CE 6 R3 and VS2008 Pro like this:

configure -no-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support -no-opengl -platform win32-msvc2008 -xplatform wince60standard-armv4i-msvc2005 -no-libtiff -no-dbus -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-webkit -debug

Compilation worked fine.

After that I've copied QtCored4.dll and QtGuid4.dll onto my CE device to the folder \FFSDISK\.

Then I've created an new Qt application for CE and changed the project properties like this:
Configuration Properties->Debugging->Remote Executable: \FFSDISK\QtCe01.exe
Configuration Properties->Deployment->Additional Files: removed everything
Configuration Properties->Deployment->Remote Directory: \FFSDISK\

After compiling my appliction I've copied the .exe file to the \FFSDISK\ of my CE device.

If I start debugging in VS I get this message:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The program "\FFSDISK\QtCe01.exe" can not be started.

No process is on the other end of the pipe.

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Hopefully translated correctly

What have I done wrong?
How can I debug my application?

Thank you.

By the way... compiling an runnig my application as release works fine...
