Hi all
I've been trying to install masm32 v9 , but I couldn't I was keep getting this error in 3 computers I tried to install it on:

what is the problem ? any help is highly appreciated.
BTW: I've installed WinRar, and WinRar works just fine. I can right-click on the install.exe of masm32, and choose Extract files.. etc.
but if I extract the files this way, MASM32 editor doesn't work, also there are some files can't be extracted this way.
EDIT:
I forgot to tell, that I'm using KasperSky Internet Security7 on the 3 computers, could it be the cause of this problem ?
The problem is the enabled DEP with XP and later. version 9.0 was written before DEP was released in Windows. Completely disable the DEP and make sure you turn it off in KasperSky as well. The problem is solved in the upcoming version.
Well, thank you very much hutch for your reply, I'm going to try and tell you :)
Bye !
Hi Hutch
I tried to change DEP settings, but I couldn't. Look at this picture:
(http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/4017/masmproblem2uw4.jpg)
I can't choose any one of the 2 options, because they're deactivated .
could anyone please tell me how can I disable the DEP in this case ?
EDIT:
I'm the administrator of this computer.
Dasar,
Is your computer a domain member? If so, what are the details of the group policy applied to your computer?
QuoteI can't choose any one of the 2 options, because they're deactivated .
Could this because of the "/noexecute" parameter in the boot.ini file???
For me it is "/noexecute=optin". (Maybe its "alwayson" for you?)
HTH,

Hello
@ Vortex:
1- I don't know exactly what do you mean with "domain member".
2- but I don't think so, my computer is only for personal use, It isn't connected to any network.
3- If you have any suggestions please tell me.
@Shantanu Gadgil:
This is the boot.ini file in my computer:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
any suggestions ?
Just change boot.ini value: /noexecute=alwaysoff
It will disable DEP, and you will be able to run masm32 installation (according to hutch--).
Hi Dasar,
No problem. A computer becomes a domain member when it joints a Windows NT\2000\2003 domain. I tought that you were running a computer connected to a network.
No luck ! :'(
I tried every thing I can do, but I still can't install MASM32 v9. this is the first time I encounter such problem with it.
@ramguru:
I tried noexecute=alwaysoff , but it still doesn't work.
I also added install.exe in the exception list of DEP, but the same error message still appears.
I have also closed all antivirus and firewall programs, but I was keep getting the same result !
I don't know what I have to do at this point :'(
hutch, why didn't you make the install package a normal wizard setup program ? ! :P
Do you have administrator privileges?
Is this running Vista? 64-bit?
hi
did you read this?

Are your system log files reporting error message(s)?
Dasar,
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.
Quotehutch, why didn't you make the install package a normal wizard setup program ? !
I agree ... not that the installer has to look in any particular way, but just do away with all this DEP related problems. :eek

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:
"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.
@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:
Quotesuggested 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.

sorry, I didn't understand your question. Do you mean "Are your system log error messages ?" ?
@Mark Jones:
QuoteDo 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.
Thank you Vortex
This is the last error message after I run the install.exe :

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.
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.
