Re: [Openexr-user] Photoshop Windows Binary Requires Extra DLL?

Yes, what you are describing seems to be exactly what is happening. 
Unfortunately, I don't have a compiler installed on my Windows box, and I'd 
prefer not going to the trouble of having one installed. I downloaded the 
compiled plugin from the OpenEXR website, so it surprises me that it is a 
debug version.
