MASM32 Version 10 Posted.

[Larry Hammick]

One of the lines of defence on this computer is Trend Micro Internet Security, which is telling me that this file:
C:\masm32\examples\poasm\runcpl\runcpl.exe
may be carrying a malfare infection which they call
TROJ_GEN.0Z0904
But that's all I know. It could be a false positive.

[hutch--]

It IS a false positive, the source code to build it is there to view. Thats why there is a sh*tlist AV subforum so people can report what this crap messes up.

Thx Hutch. I'm not surprised. Sometimes I get a warning of suspicious behaviour by my own code on my own machine!  :toothy

by the way what kind of anti-virus product do you have ?

can I know the password please for Masm32 ???
I can't unzip the file...
Can anybody help me...

[hutch--]

It does not have a password, either you have downloaded a hacked copy or your download was broken.

Download it again from www.masm32.com

Looks a nice version!

Installed without a hitch but am getting an error though:
Assemble and Link returns a 'File not found' error (even when using a bat file and a minimal asm file) Funny thing is it is still creating a working exe file!

Any ideas?

[askm]

Would not a posted MD5 checksum of the file(s) against your public downloads be useful here ?

[hutch--]

No, a ZIP file does its own as far as invalid downloads. Most problems people have are related to how their OS is set up.

Should have added that I installed ver10.0 on 32bit Vista. all defaults install, Have been running an earlier version of masm32 on the same laptop with no probs!

Will install it on the pc which is using xp, see if it still has the same problems!

[hutch--]

Just make sure you install it in a profile that had admin access, this is to ensure that you have correct file IO without security or AV interfering. It installs on Win7 64 with no problems but I don't know about Vista.

[petezl]

 At the end of the install, are there any paths added? Maybe it is a path problem peculiar to vista, yet vista and w7 paths should be the same AFAIK

ps: Just installed on xp pro sp3, getting the same file not found error while assembling and linking (avast turned off while installing) The installation was faultless, no warnings!
Annoying that there is no info produced on the the error that i could trace!

Try a batch file with >LOG.TXT. Or make a test with the RichMasm editor: pressing F6 launches a fairly sophisticated batch file.

[petezl]

Well I'm getting somewhere!

But first a stupid thing, I dragged the test asm file into the qeEditor shortcut and when assembling/linking it produced a link error! I can see why as the obj file is created in the test folder off /masm32 and qeEditor is running from the root dir. Never done that before ever (experienced a link error) but worth a note! Incidentally this is the same on ver10 and earlier... any os.

Back to the main problem, finally found that the culprit was that I had a rsrc.rc file in the same dir, I know if a resource exists then it will be tagged on to the exe file even if it is not used, deleting the rc file and the asm file assembled and linked without error!

Tried this again in the older version of masm32 and no errors even with the spare rc file there!

Seems that the problem is that on ver10 the rsrc.rc is not being accepted somehow! I have always written the resource file long-hand and never had (or have) a problem on versions earlier than ver10. Need to dig deeper!

An advanced editor will check the source for resource-related keywords and decide what to do :wink
