I have a example code for using a dll. I want to try the example program just to see that it works and then I'm planning on making my own program that calls the functions of the dll the way I want rather than just calling the functions to chow they work.
When I try to compile using either masm32 or chrome IDE I get the same error:
C:\ebot\ebot.asm(13) : fatal error A1000: cannot open file : windows.inc
I have searched and I found somthing about writing the include like this: masm32/include/windows.inc. I tried compiling and got the same error. I even tried to write C: first in the line. What is wrong? I figured that if I can't even get this to compile I will never ever get to compile my own c++/c/masm application in windows.

I tried that. didn't work. I moved all the needed inc files to the folder of the code and then it worked but this was not the kind of soloution I was looking for. I don't really know what option I should use when compiling this. And do I need to somehow create an .obj first?

Hi Devv, did you install MASM32 v9.0 to c:\masm32?
When I first installed MASM32 I moved it into another folder, which caused countless problems.

When I first installed MASM32 I moved it into another folder, which caused countless problems.
I first installed it to another partition but I thought that might be bad. I didn't find uninstaller so I just deleted it. Then I installed to C:\ which is my main drive. Problem might or might not be it's looking for the inc's at F:\ because I didn't wipe any registry it might have created during the installation. Question is now: What should I do about it and what is likely to be the problem with the oher error?
When I moved all the files to the folder I got some error like: The volume in drive C: doesn't have a label. That's when I tried to assemble ASM file.
Thanks for all the help so far! :clap:
The MASM32 package makes no changes to the registry, so your problem is not there. Have you tried setting the PATH environment variable to point to the include directory?

If the MASM32 package resides on partition C: your code should reside in C: too because if your code resides on e.g. D: and you write
include \masm32\include\windows.inc
then ML will look for "D:\masm32\include\windows.inc" and not for "C:\masm32\include\windows.inc".
If you don't want any trouble, keep the MASM32 package and your code on the same partition.
Thats the way I keep it and I never experience any problems like you.
Path enviroment? Where do I change that? :eek
The code is in C:/ebot and masm32 is in c:/masm32 so that shouldn't be the problem.
And what about the label error?

Well, I really don't think it will help (I don't need to have it set on my comp)... but it can't hurt:
(I'm assuming that you are running windows XP, if not, this might be different)
1) right click on "My Computer"
2) select "Properties"
3) go to the "Advanced" tab
4) Click the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom
5) In the top or bottom box (it should be in both, but either will do), select the "PATH" or "path" (or something similar) variable (without quotes).
6) Click the "Edit" button (there are 2 - make sure that you pick the right one)
7) In the bottom box, add the following to the end of the line:
Quote;c:\masm32\include\
Once again, I doubt this will work, but I really can't think of anythign else that might help.

You can't get it compiling?
Extract these files to some place. (at your c: drive) and run bldall.bat - does that work?
[attachment deleted by admin]
What does the .bat do and where do I find it? Can someone else try to compile this code and see if it works?
The .bat is a batch file, it contains the command line instructions to build the file. It works for me ("works" in this case means that it assembles and links fine, I run it... it doesnt crash, but it doesn't exactly work either... stanhebben, that was far too complex an example to check a build works), so instructions:
1) Download the ZIP file, extract the files to a folder
2) Open the folder, and double click bldall.bat
3) see if the build completes without error
4) if so, there should be a test.exe in the folder (your choice to run it or not... it doesnt matter if it works or not)
