i cant seem to comipile the included examples

[*DEAD*]

hi, im looking through the tutorials and examples included in the masm32 folder and am trying to compile some of them so i can have a play with them. ive copied the source into the IDE that came with masm32, and used the link and assemble option under project. when i try to run the .exe, nothing happens. all the files are also the same size as the ones in the demo folder. when i use the .exe in the demo folder, it does spit out hello world. the code im trying to assemble is the first demo in the /tutorial/console folder, aka hello world. heres the source that im using. can anyone please tell me what im doing wrong.
btw, i have been able to compile examples from iczelions tutorilas without problems.

Two options for assembling

Assemble & Link
Produces a GUI exe

Console Assemble & Link
Produces a console/text mode exe

DEAD,

What has probably happened is you built it asa GUI app. Build it as a console app and go to the console and run it from there. Then you will see the results. With a program this short, often the cponsole does not even display before it closes so you just don't see it.

thanks, i was building it as a GUI app, now i have something to play with and learn from.
thanks again
