Preinstrumenting a native-compiled (unmanaged) module can save time later when you instrument and run a program that uses the module, because the instrumented version is already in the Purify cache directory.
To preinstrument a module from the command line, type:
purify /Run=no modulename
You can also drag and drop the module file onto the Purify main window. For non-executable files, Purify instruments the module but does not run the file. Purify stores the instrumented module in the Purify cache directory.
