/ALLOWBIND (Prevent DLL binding)
Set a flag to disallow DLL binding.
Syntax
/ALLOWBIND[:NO]
Remarks
The /ALLOWBIND:NO linker option sets a bit in a DLL's header that indicates to Bind.exe that the image can't be bound. You may not want a DLL to be bound if it's been digitally signed (binding invalidates the signature).
You can edit an existing DLL for /ALLOWBIND functionality with the /ALLOWBIND option of the EDITBIN utility.
