Using VS2010 for MASM... step by step

[dgkimpton]

All, first let me say thank you to all the great posters here... I've been reading for some time and the tips and tricks on this forum are invaluable.

Second, I put together a step by step of how to get Visual Studio 2010 to compile using MASM so now I feel I can finally contribute something back.

I thought it might be of help to someone here so I'm going to post a link to it, hopefully this does not come across as spam.

Thanks again to everyone who has unknowingly helped me get a handle on this asm stuff.

You can check this thread to use the new VS 2010 tools :

Vortex: I didn't need to go through any of that... ML.exe v10 is included out of the box in VS2010 and just works once the project is correctly configured... maybe I'm missing the point of what you are suggesting?

Hi dgkimpton,

It's easy : that thread is focussing on creating a simple VS 2010 environment without touching the registry if you don't wish to use the IDE. Command-line tools are enough for such a task.

Ah, that explains it. I was actually aiming to use the IDE...
