Van,

Just download VS2010 or later and use the bits.

masm v 6.15 supports SSE2
masm v 8 supports SSE3

there are newer versions of masm that support SSE4, etc
not sure how great the support is - haven't had a way to test anything  :bg
if you write SSE4 code (or SSE3, for that matter) - good to have a fallback proc for us poor-folks

i suppose JwAsm would be a good alternative

[vanjast]

Thanks..
Hutch.. do you mean the express version of VS, as I see one has to buy the full version, or can I download the trial and extract the bits without worring about a license ?

There's a whole load of VS2010s on MSofts website (VSBasic, VSC, VSC++, VSExpress)... and then the complete studio, which they want me to pay for... I mean really, what has the world come to ??  :green2.

Maybe it might be possible to just put the ML..etc up for download
:wink

Uh! OK I'm just going to download the VS2010 Ultimate trial ISO and see what happens.
Probably will take me the better part of 4 days to download (3rd world countries really freak me out  :( )
Back next week  :bg

Much shorter, and does the job. Follow exactly the instructions - you must copy your files to a safe location while the error dialog is open.

Greg,

Vanjast sits in Africa. No DSL line.... Masm 8.0 is a mere 310 kBytes, but you must follow Vortex's instructions very closely.

it is far easier to just use 7-zip to extract the file from the masm8 setup
1) right-click on the setup program, 7-zip, Extract files, OK
2) inside the resulting folder, another file - repeat the same thing
3) inside that, there are 2 files, an MSI, and a CAB
4) again, use 7-zip to extract files from the CAB file
5) inside the CAB is a file named FL_ml_exe_____X86.3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1BB8
6) rename it to ML.exe

Thanks... We have DSL, but I'm on the 'low end'.
Cannot afford exorbitant prices for the same stuff the '1st world' gets nearly for free.

Sinsi, did you get my reply?
