Hello - Yes the fix works nicely. IA64 ibbus.sys loads with no problems.
Rebuilt WinOF 1.0 (ia64) installs correctly.
 x86 and x64 drivers install and run correctly.

Thank you!!

Please advise when this fix is pushed back into openib-windows svn, as I
will wait until then to generate a head of the tree installer; WinOF
1.0.1 ?

Thank you 'all' for the assistance!

Stan.
