I just found that the ml.exe installed by MASM32 is version 6.14.8444. Is there any difference between it and the ml.exe bundled with Visual C++ 2010 (which is version 10.?.?)? Can I use the one from Visual C++ 2010 instead while using the libraries come with MASM32?
yes
the reason 6.14 is packaged with the masm32 libraries is license
most forum members replace it with a newer one
it only supports SSE2, if i remember - 6.15 and up support SSE3 or better - something like that :P
be sure to grab the ML.ERR file to go with it, if there is one
YOu need only this files
cvtres.exe
lib.exe
link.exe
ml.exe
rc.exe
mspdb100.dll
msvcr100.dll
RcDll.Dll
for X64 go to bin\amd64 folder
