Thanks alot Vortex!  :U

By the way, have they added support for c99 to their compiler?

Thanks

[UtillMasm]

 :U

D:\VS2010b\
D:\VS2010bSDK\
crt0\crt0.lib
what are they?

Hi UtillMasm,

Sorry, my apologies. I forgot the crt0 library. Would please download again the sample?

Yes, I should give more information about the structure of installation folders :

VS2010b :

Code Select Expand

bin        ; binaries, development tools
include    ; standard include files
lib        ; VC run-time libraries


VS2010bSDK :

Code Select Expand

include ; VS 2010 SDK include files
lib     ; VS 2010 SDK libraries

Excellent Vortex. By the way, the batch file of #2 has no linker line.

[UtillMasm]

because cl's option /c not exist.

[mitchi]

Oh I see so that's how it is!!  I was expecting something like /MT on the commandline, I didn't know it was default !

i was trying to extract the files without a second machine
i created the 1.2 gb ISO image and extracted the files from that
there are several cab files, as well as extractable exe's
i am trying to find the right ones

[Vortex]

Hi dedndave,

This may not be the best solution but do you have another hard disc to create a safe test environment? You could copy the necessary files to your development system. What I mean is that you can install temporarily your OS to a second hard disc.

[dedndave]

actually, i do have another hard drive
but i was trying to do it this way so we could document it for others

i may wind up using the drive as a test-bed and figuring out the details as i go

By the way, have they added support for c99 to their compiler?

No, Microsoft has been ignoring the C99 standard for many years now.  :tdown

Which shouldn't be a problem if you have a good filemanager like tcmd that can browse/extract/search archives.

Oh my, ignore my last post, i completely forgot about a tool i use a LOT to extract msi archives.
It's called "Less MSIérables", the original homepage (http://blogs.pingpoet.com/overflow/archive/2005/06/02/2449.aspx) seems to be down atm, i'll attach the exe that i have, it's not the original because i had to recompile it to fix a little bug.
Open the "vs_setup.msi" file in it and select the files you want to extract.

Edit:
It seems it doesen't work with this msi, oh well, here is the download link with original content anyway
http://code.google.com/p/code4all/downloads/list

[dedndave]

program sounds good - not too sure i like the name - lol
a bit of a stretch
let me play with it - ty Drizz

yah - msi file format has changed a bit over time
but - i think there is an extract option to get a list of files in a cabinet without extracting
i can make a text list with batch then look through it
