Test version of masm

[Shantanu Gadgil]

After all the discussion, I have a few questions:
@dedndave
Q: Were you able to make the ML.EXE from VS2011 run on a Windows XP ? (I guess not!)
Q: If at all you are trying your experiments with the "latest ML.EXE", then I definitely know that the ML.EXE from VS2010 works on Windows XP.

@hutch
Q: Would the license for v6.15 (etc.) hold for the newer versions as well? (I assume not)
Q: Would MASM32 v11 continue to have ML v6.15 (etc.)

Regards,
Shantanu

Hey, what is so sexy about ML 11.0?? After all, it creates exactly the same code as previous versions... ::)

i did give up trying to get v 11 to work - for now, at least
i may come back to it at some later date

i do not have any access to VS2010 Pro to get v 10
the Express edition does not appear to include masm

masm v9 will do everything i want to do   :P

The vc++ express edition have the ml 10.00.30319.01

thanks, Yves   :U

i had that file, but did not find it - lol
it is inside the Ixpvc.exe file

later today, i may pull it out of there and make another package

Jack,

The main difference is the use of the __UNICODE__ equate to switch between ASCII and UNICODE builds. The rest of the list would make both of us grow old.  :bg

Shantanu, You are welcome to negotiate with Microsoft for a later version of ML.EXE but I prefer to advise folks who need the later version to download it from Microsoft. Version 6.14 works fine on pre SSE2 code.

ML 11 can be "resolved" to run on winxp.
The only problematic import is GetTickCount64 - msvcr110.dll on the other hand has a lot of them.
renaming msvcr100.dll to msvcr110.dll leaves 4 imports to be "resolved".
+ the obvious OptionalHeader values...

not sure it's worth the effort   :wink

The Visual Studio 2010 SP1 (400 Mo) have the 10.00.40219.01 built by: SP1Rel  Ml version
This work with the express edition
