Test version of masm

[Magnum]

Where is the newest version of Masm available for download ?

I would like to test it on my system.

I want to download 7.0, well at least so much better it support SSE2

ml.exe and link.exe version 11.00.40825.2
MS Visual Studio 11:

i think you need dotNOT 4.0 to install vs2011
however, there is probably a way to extract the binaries without installing it, if you don't have 4.0

The .NET Framework 4.5 Developer Preview is also installed as part of Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview

I was unfortunate to download and test it on Windows XP! It doesn't work! Minimum installation requirements are Vista!  ::)

Also, the actual binaries have a minimum OS version requirement of version 6.
So, even if you try to get the binaries onto a Windows XP machine and try an execute them, it doesn't work!!!

Time to /finally/ move on to Windows 7 (or Windows 8 Developer Preview  :lol  :wink)

you can probably dig them out of there with 7-zip
you just have to find them   :bg

I wasn't and am not worried about how to find them within the installer!  :bg

Digging them out  :bg as you say wouldn't help because the EXEs have built with the minimum version set to 6.0 (Vista+)

that probably does not apply to the ML and LINK programs
these are command-line tools - i have not seen any other members mention OS version limitations
i use ML 6.15 and have not run into any problems, although i don't use anything higher than SSE2
there are macros around to use SSE3, if i wanted to - and it isn't hard to find ML v 8

I meant the MASM32 SDK, newest version.

: angry :

It *probably* doesn't, but in this case it DOES!!!
I *know* this because I have tried it and I was not speculating!!!
I /did/ install the VS11 beta on a Windows 8 Developer Preview machine, then copied the exes over to a Windows machine and tried to run them. It didn't work!
Please read my previous posts properly!

For the OP:
The latest link is at: http://masm32.com/

Edit:
My guess is the exes would be linked with the /VERSION parameter set to 6.0

[dedndave]

that is easy to change
there is little need for these command line tools to use newer functions, although they may
but it is easy to modify the exe header
send me the files   :P

[dedndave]

well - i d/l'ed the files
found ML and LINK
next - i will mod the headers
however - we may have a problem if they require the new version of msvcrt   :P
may have to play with that, too - lol

[Ficko]

To run ML, Link, Lib & cvtres needed:

1.) msvcr110.dll
2.) mspdb110.dll
3.) msvcdis110.dll

[dedndave]

i modified the EXE headers for OS version 5.00 and set the checksum
it still says "not a valid win32 application"
after you close that box, it says "access denied" (they are not blocked)

i am trying to get 32-bit ML and LINK, for the moment
the ML i grabbed is 428,864 bytes
LINK is 820,040 bytes
have i got the correct files ?

if i can get those working, i can probably get the rest   :P

if it were for myself, i'd probably go back to VS2008, use ML v8, or jwasm - lol
but, it would be nice to have a set on my fileshare for anyone who wants to d/l it
