How to disable import library generation?

Question

I am creating a COM-DLL in Visual Studio. The compiler creates an import library for the DLL. I do not need an import library.

Is there a way to tell the linker not to generate it?

Nine years later, this may turn out to be useless for AF, but it may be useful for others coming in search of a solution.

LINK.EXE supports a parameter /NOIMPLIBthat prevents the creation of an import library, even if there __declspec(dllexport)is a plugin DLLor EXE __declspec(dllexport).
