Deploy the C program compiled in VS2010

I have a compiled old C ++ program that works fine in debug mode in VS2010, converted to VC ++ 6, but I have no idea how to pack or deploy the application.
VS2010 may not have anything to do with deploying the program at all, but I thought I should mention this.
The "release" folder contains not only the executable file, but also "obj", "tlog", "vc100.pdb", "exe.intermediate.manifest" and "lastbuildstate".
This application is installed on Windows Mobile OS (I hope). Is it not as simple as copying an executable file to a device? I need to create a cab or msi file, and if so, how?
I'm absolutely new to being too messed up in C # and MVC!

In Visual Studio 2010, there are no Smart Device compilers (managed or native) needed to create Windows Mobile (not Windows Phone). You must use Visual Studio 2008 to build, deploy, and / or debug.

EDIT

FWIW, Studio 2012 will support Smart Devices (Studio 2010 will still not receive support) in the first quarter of next year. Backward compatibility has not yet been announced, but it is always possible that you can develop WinMo devices using the ARM compiler. Here, the video here details some of the features.
