/RELEASE

Remarks

The /RELEASE option sets the Checksum in the header of an .exe file.

The operating system requires the Checksum for device drivers. Set the Checksum for release versions of your device drivers to ensure compatibility with future operating systems.

The /RELEASE option is set by default when the /SUBSYSTEM:NATIVE option is specified.
