	Why no ia64 ND support?
	
	[Leonid Keller]   IA64 is not supported by MS HPC. Noone tried
ND on this platform. Even ND source compilation fails.
	
	Please provide ia64 ND binaries and test pgm executable; I will
install/run test.
	 
	Once ND is installed on x86 and/or x64, how does one validate ND
is installed and working?
	
	[Leonid Keller]  'ndinstall -l' shows the list of installed
layered service providers (one can use also 'InstallsdpProvider.exe -l'
and 'instalsp -l').
	MS provides ND SDK, which includes ND line tests (like ndping,
ndpingpong). One can use them to check and measure the work of NDI.
	 
	thanks,
	 
	stan.

		Hello,
		  Thanks for delivering the nd binaries. Are there any
licensing issues with redistribution?
		[Leonid Keller] Not that i know. Anyone ? 
		 
		Just to make sure I understand from an install
perspective, who/how/when & why is ndinstall.exe executed?
		
		[Leonid Keller] See ND as another flavour of WSD.
		It has to be installed from MSI the same way as WSD upon
user's request or by default. 
		 
		Why is nd so closely tied to IPoIB install?  Precludes
nd as optional?
		Why is nd not installed standalone independent of IPoIB?
A WIX 'feature'?
		I assume your intention is for nd to be a 'standard'
feature of WinOF 2.0?
		
		[Leonid Keller] ND, like WSD, requires IPoIB for its
work.
		But it tends to replace WSD, so, yes, we want it to be
a standard feature.
		 
		I assume ibndprov.dll is intended to be installed in
%windir% ?
		
		[Leonid Keller] In %windir%\system32 like all other
dlls. 
		 
		Could ndinstall.exe live in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\WinOF\ ?
		
		[Leonid Keller] It seems reasonable to put it in the
same place with WSD stuff, especially instalsp.exe 
		 
		Why is nd, an upper level protocol, not resident in
trunk\ulp\nd\user ?
		
		[Leonid Keller] In our internal SVN tree it resides
really there ...
		 
		  Eventually the source for the nd provider will be in
svn, so from a minimize modifications to WIX src files, why not place
binaries where the src will live?  For the near term, we could construct
a sources/makefile to copy .dll & .exe to trunk\bin\user\...
		
		[Leonid Keller] When the source comes, we'll remove the
binaries ...
		I'd suggest to put ND binaries in trunk\bin\..., i.e. in
those same places, where they would come while generated from the source
code.
		 
		stan.

		Hi,
		 
		The patch add ND files (ibndprov.dll, ndinstall.exe) to
netipoib.inx, ipoib.cdf, ipoib32.cdf
		Currently IA64 platform isn't supported (HPC supports
Windows 2008 x64). netipoib-xp32.inf wasn't changed (same reason)
		Attached nd-part.diff (diff for netipoib.inx, ipoib.cdf,
ipoib32.cdf alone) and nd -bin .zip which contains ibndprov.dll and
ndinstall.exe
		(remove .zip suffix for each file). I think we should
add them under trunk\etc\bin\ directory (new directory).
		Do you have other suggestions for binaries file location
in the svn tree?
		 
		Thanks, Reuven.

		The only problem here not all of us have the ND files,
hence will error out on install!
		Please forward binaries and/or place binaries in svn
until ND sources are available to build.
		 
		Please do not inject known broken patches into svn
without suggesting a global fix for all.
		 
		thanks,

		Hi,
		 
		The patch add ND files to netipoib.inx since in the
coming release ND will be part of WinOF.
		IbNdProv.dll is the Provider dll, ndinstall.exe is ND
installer.
		 
		Thanks, Reuven.
