masm32 V11

[shankle]

Doesn't work for me.
At the present time I am running Masm32 V10.
Windows 7 Pro.
Eset SS

Here is what I did to try installing Masm32 V11:
I am the administrator on this computer
Turned off UAC.
Disabled ESET SS
Turn off all start up programs.
Had no effect on the installation of Masm32 V11.
Also tried it in Safe Mode.
I unplugged from the internet when trying to  install as
my ESET is disabled if that makes any difference.
Obviously I am missing something

Well I don't know why it isn't installing for you shankle. I have Win 7 64 bit and I've installed Steve's package near a half dozen times in testing it for him and the final installation for my own use. All I did was download the masm32v11r.zip file from Steve's site then double clicked on it to view the install.exe file within then I double clicked it and followed the simple prompts. It takes maybe a minute for the installation to complete. If you are running Win 7 why aren't you using Microsoft's Security Essentials instead of ESET?

hi Jack
obviously, it does not install
can you elaborate on the errors or failure mode ?

[shankle]

The window I am getting when trying to install masm32 v11
is put there by Hutch when the install fails.
That's all I have to go on.
I downloaded the file and unzipped it and can see the install version.
Clicking on it gives me Hutches window for not installing.
As stated above I have disabled everything I can think of.

shankle,

You should have this file -> masm32v11r.zip

Within the zip you should see this file-> install.exe

When you double click that file you should be seeing this dialog.



When you click the Yes button you should see this dialog.



When you click the big planet earth install button you should see this dialog.



From that dialog you pick the drive you wish to install to then click the ok button and away you go.

Are you seeing any of the above dialogs shankle?

If not can you post a pic of what it is you are seeing?

Really don't know how to reply to this as it's kind of embarrassing.
Read the fine print and didn't see the obvious :red
Must have been a BIG senior moment.....
Everything is fine now.
Thanks

[Bill Cravener]

Glad you got it worked out and don't sweat it, I have my share of senior moments myself. :bg

we'll just pretend it was someone else, Jack   :U

Well I have to say that Masm32 V11 is the same excellent job that Hutch always does.
I especially like the EDIT/Settings. This allowed me to set the editor to something
that my tired old eyes could see better.
Is it my imagination or is the new Masm a whole lot faster?
Maybe the old one got corrupted somehow and slowed it down.
Many thanks Hutch

i have the same problem with my eyes, Jack
one thing that helps a lot is to get a better font
this one is specifically designed for programming
install it through control panel/fonts or by right-click, i think
then select it in QE and set the size

Dave,
  I just tried it with RadAsm3 and can't say I like it. I'm using Lucida Console.

like anyrthing new, it takes a little getting-used-to
you have to give it a couple days   :P
i used to use Lucida Console, as well
but now i am used to Inconsolata - especially for writing code - but i also use it for regular text, now

Its all about ones taste when it comes to a favorite font. Me, Courier New Bold size 16, but then again I'm one of those who can only program in Windows Notepad. :bg

Notepad, seriously?  ::)
Here is a screenshot from my first word processor, programmed around 1988 in a mix of GfaBasic and 68000 Assembler. It was blazing fast, had a Dbase III interface for serial letters, and could generate (and print) embedded graphics from data tables. And wow the font, isn't it cute?  :green

Some things don't change, I have been using FIXEDSYS since the win3 days and still prefer it to true type fonts. Its an ugly font but I read it faster than the scalable fonts.
