As a side note, winOFED 'debug' versions are available as an install option which is not part of the default winOFED install; it can be added later when needed. The winOFED IB SDK contains a subset of the debug versions (user mode libraries). > >-Fab > >Hefty, Sean wrote on Wed, 29 Jun 2011 at 09:01:13 > >> I say go for it. >> >> I believe that the reason was so that you could install both the debug and >> release versions.
