• Build the debug versions and symbols for the two DLLs: IPM_IN.dll and IPM_OUT.dll. These projects can be found at:
  
  
  • \MSSDK\samples\dbmsg\exchange\IPM_IN\IPM_IN.dsp
  • \MSSDK\samples\dbmsg\exchange\IPM_OUT\IPM_OUT.dsp
  
  You can use Microsoft Visual C++ to build the debug versions and symbols. In each project, select Build -> Set Active Configuration and pick the Win32 Debug configuration. Then, go to Project -> Settings -> Link and select "Generate debug Information". Now, build the project by selecting Build -> Batch Build, select the Win32 Debug build and click Build.



• Copy IPM_IN.dll, IPM_IN.pdb, IPM_OUT.ddl and IPM_OUT.pdb from the respective debug directories to the WinNT/system32 directory.



• In Microsoft Visual C++, open the sample gateway project you made in
