I have a problem installing MASM32 V9

[hutch--]

hutch, why didn't you make the install package a normal wizard setup program

The problem is DEP, not the installation. It would fail under DEP anyway. The solution to Dasar's problem is to disable DEP and operating system setting are not in the domain of an installation. version 10 has solved the problem where version 9.0 was written before Microsoft changed the specifications of the 32 bit PE executable file.

Hi Dasar et al,
I've recently enabled DEP on my pc, and when running certain proggies including SpamBayes, there is first THIS message:

Code Select Expand


"To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program.
Name: [name of program]
Change Settings   Close Message"

Only after closing, the GPF appears. Dasar, have you seen a box of this type? If not, then it is not DEP. One other hypothesis is lack of RAM - 7z is memory-hungry, especially if slow & high compression was chosen.

[Dasar]

@jj2007:
No, I don't see this message, after I run the install.exe I get the error message immediately.
I get only one error message ( the picture is in my first post ).


@hutch:

suggested in my first reply, turn it off in KasperSky Internet Security as well. We have seen this problem before and this needs to be done to disable DEP.

I don't know how to turn it off in KasperSky Internet Security, I've navigated all the options in KasperSky, but I couldn't find anything related to DEP.
BTW: as I've mentioned before, I've totally closed KasperSky before trying to install the package.
and the DEP is disabled in the boot.ini file (/noexecure=alwaysoff).
If I've misunderstood you about KasperSky issues, then please clear it for me.


@Vortex

Are your system log files reporting error message(s)?

sorry, I didn't understand your question. Do you mean "Are your system log error messages ?"    ?


@Mark Jones:

Do you have administrator privileges?

Is this running Vista? 64-bit?

Yes, I have.
No, running Windows XP Professional SP2.


and thank you for every one tried to help me.

Hi Dasar,

Launch a command prompt and type eventvwr.msc You should be able to view the system log files.

[Dasar]

Thank you Vortex

I hope this helps you to help me :)

Well this is a very unusual thing. :wink I suppose Hutch or one of us could provide the MASM32 package to you privately as a .zip file so you can install it now. If I should do this Steve, just let me know. As Hutch has said, the next version of MASM32 should not have this problem, but we will still look into this issue further, thanks for all your hard work. :U

Hi Dasar,

finst.exe is not a file supplied with the Masm32 package. Check your system with an antivirus software.

[hutch--]

The file "finst.exe" is a temporary file that the installation writes to disk that is deleted after the install is finished.

RE the original question, the answer is the sme as it was the first time, turn OFF the DEP and the problem is solved. I bothered to make the effort in the first place with the help of a number of friends to track down the problem which was the DEP added to SP2 of XP. The answer is now as it was then, turn OFF the DEP and it will work fine.

I cannot directly help you with either WinXP or Kaspersky as I use neither and finally what you need to do is be able to set up your own machine.
