This option attaches an MS-DOS stub program to a Win32 program.
/STUB:filename
Remarks
A stub program is invoked if the file is executed in MS-DOS. It usually displays an appropriate message; however, any valid MS-DOS application can be a stub program.
Specify a filename for the stub program after a colon (:) on the command line. The linker checks filename to be sure that it is a valid MS-DOS executable file, and issues an error message if the file is not valid. The program must be an .exe file; a .com file is invalid for a stub program.
If this option is not used, the linker attaches a default stub program that issues the following message:
This program cannot be run in MS-DOS mode.
When building a virtual device driver, filename allows the user to specify a filename that contains an IMAGE_DOS_HEADER structure (defined in WINNT.H) to be used in the VXD, rather than the default header.
