I have a custom 8.2 install right now, custom because I inserted a files for programming dx9 stuff, so I dont dare to ruin it installing over v9
so what do I miss?(whats new in V9)

Magnus,

Just put it on another partition. I run partitions from C to R and it will install on any of them.

Just uploaded the files on my site as a mirror for Romania / eastern Europe:

Hutch, I guess you could again add it to your list of mirrors / download locations

Because it is a new stable hosting  and can releave some bandwidth.

I see there are two versions. One for Win9x and one for Win2k+. What's the difference? I guess this is silly, but couldn't there just be a single install and have sort of precompile definitions for one over the other?

Also, right now I'm using lots of things from the Platform SDK. Is that included in the Win2k+ version ... or how would I get into the Platform SDK items with one of these installs?

[hutch--]

Microsoft repeatedly break backwards compatibility from version to version and I got tired of trying to fix this across versions from win95b upwards so I made two different installs.

The PLATFORMSDK I downloaded from Microsoft yesterday was 430 meg so NO the 3.5 meg masm32 installation does not include it.

[thomas_remkus]

I understand. How can I get to functions like

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/window_station_and_desktop_functions.asp

... because I need to work with Window Stations. Should I make a request to have these added to the windows.inc?

So, how would I then be able to work with the Platform SDK with MASM? I also have downloaded the huge series of files needed for the installation of the Platform SDK and would like to see about creating some learning projects for myself. Sometimes I use headers and libs from the Platform SDK so using those still would be really important.

Thanks again for all of your time on this project. I think it's very important and you are doing good works.

Hi thomas_remkus,
did you try:

Code Select Expand

findstr "GetWindowStation" *.*

on the command prompt inside the include directory of masm32 ?

[thomas_remkus]

No, I did not try that  ::). I thought that all of the definitions for functions were in windows.inc. I'll have to look more.

thx
