Helllo,
The news are a little out of date in this forum.
This one is a little more up to date.
If you try to install the visual C++ with no success ,follow this steps.
In the directory C:\WINDOWS\assembly there is files named Microsoft.VisualStudio.*.
Try to uninstall the versions of this files less than 8(right clic).
If it's failed (That is because you are a very good user of the beta versions of microsoft),become very venimous with your system and open a  DOS window.
Type dir /S/B and you can see files and directories with all Microsoft.VisualStudio.... in there nane.
At the directory C:\WINDOWS\assembly  type del /S/Q Microsoft.VisualStudio.*.
You can also del all the registry key with "visual studio" in it.Don't be carefull when deleting this keys,delete the most top key of it like {122edh,,,,,,0}.

After making this you can install the vc++.
You are on a happy day,and VC++ say you "installing the vc++ environnement for the first use",you have got your ticket to play witht it.

That's not ALL,there is something that are waiting  for you.The SDK help is waiting you for your final battle (I think I become crazy).
You cannot use the index of the help.Reinstall it as say the dialog box cannot help you.
I will tell you a very big secret unknown by microsoft.
The link that open dexplore must be changed,as follow.....\Microsoft Shared\Help\... must be change in \Microsoft Shared\Help 8\.
"C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Microsoft Shared\Help 8\dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://ms.psdksvr2003sp1.1033

If you have some useful informations like that don't keep it,write it here!.

EduardoS,

Have a look in the Workshop for the post by Kang Su Gatlin which introduced the fersion 8.0 of ML.

Sorry, i didn't saw that, please delete these topic so...

[Human]

all you need to do is extract with winrar that exe,then setup.exe then in total commander with msi plugin or from cab dont remember. you can get ml_exe and rename it to ml.exe, after that install vcredist_x86 with msvc80.dll's
and it runs, but one thing.
again tehy screw everything
for example
o equ offset
invoke uFMOD_PlaySong,o music,o musiclen-o music,XM_MEMORY
and ml 8 doesnt like offset - offset to give him lenght
with 7.1 its all ok, so i will stay to old.

doesnt ml 8.0 in vc++2005 was in .net crap?

[Rockphorr]

Are you sure that is 8 ?
Now we are using ml.exe version 6.15.
Are some notes about 7 vesion ?

Guys,

If you bother to look at the topic started by Kang Su Gatlin you will see that it IS ML.EXE version 8.0.
