Problem with Masm install on WinMe

[skywalker]

When I try to install Masm on a WinMe system, I get this message.

The install.exe file is linked to missing export USER32.dll SetLayerWindowsAttribute

Thanks.

not tested the install on WinME, but what you are saying:

linked to missing export USER32.dll SetLayerWindowsAttribute

has to do with setting the window attribute so that it can be made transparent.

Have you tried the "legacy" version of MASM32?

There is no SetLayerWindowsAttribute function. I think you mean SetLayeredWindowAttributes. As the page clearly indicates, this function is present for Windows 2000 and later. The USER32.DLL version 4.90.0.3000 from my Window ME CD does not export any function with a name even close to this. Are you aware that the MASM32 version 9 release has two versions, one for Windows 2000 and later, and a 'legacy' version for Windows 9x?
