For WINDOWS.INC for 32 bit MASM (Version 1.4c RELEASE April 2008) it's defined on line 309, but I can't find it in any of the earlier versions I have.

Use INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE equate. It have the same code, the same "reason" and it contained in all versions of windows.inc :)

actually, i am using INC EAX   :P

Code Select Expand

        INVOKE  GetFileAttributes,offset FileName
        inc     eax
        jz      File_Not_Found
but, i thought Hutch might want to add it to windows.inc, just to keep it up to date

Dave,

INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES is in the 2008 version of Windows.inc, there is nothing to add.

Do me this favour, use an up to date version as it saves me the wild goose chase looking for values that are already there.

i have masm32 version 10r  - the windows.inc file is dated 6-4-08
the equate is referenced in the docs for GetFileAttributes, which goes back to win2K

so, um, where do i get the latest versions of includes, libaries, and macros ?

Mine is a few hours older, and has the missing equate.

It's in mine line on line 309. The time difference is the difference between the time zones. Filetimes are stored as UTC but Explorer displays it in the local time, so it's going to be different depending on where you are.

Yep. Dave needs an editor with a search function :bg
