Please see this old thread:

> Is there anyway to load a debug version of a export dll. If I take the example skp\_to\_xml debug dll and load it in sketchup sketchup crashes. Only the release seems to work. I know that I can turn off all optimizations for the release version and that works. But is there a way to load the debug version?
