Title: MASM32 without binaries
Post by: gwapo on May 27, 2010, 06:06:07 AM
Hi Hutch,

I like MASM32, as it has a lot of routines/includes/libraries that works well and fast. Unfortunately our corporate "anti-virus" software is trowing a lot of false positives, which is preventing me to install MASM32 in any of the machines where I work.

Would it be possible to have a "library only" release of MASM32? I have VS2008/VS2010 installed on my workstation, so I have the most updated MASM release., but what I'm lacking are the working libraries/examples/includes that MASM32 provides.

Thanks,

-chris

I believe if you run installer on a different box, than copy the needed files it should work ok :) 
I am not Hutch though, i am sure he will have a better answer.

Thanks, I feel so dumb to forgot about that method ::) (I guess that's what I get for depending too much on the installer  :bdg)

I also tried downloading the GeneSys project, and even that is getting false-positives., geez, what's wrong with Symantec....

Chris,

I am working away at adding manifest files and version control blocks to the current binaries which should solve some of the problems with AV crap like Symantec but in the short term Joe's suggestion should do the job. It works fine with ML 9.0, should be OK with version 10 but I would be careful with linker settings, I am also not sure that later Microsoft linkers will build libraries in the same way if at all.
