hi all :) since i installed windows7 64bits i have that "famous" problem

LNK1104 error:cannot open file user32.lib

i have nothing in the lib directory masm32\lib\ and i don't understand why (i am a beginner and before , on my winxp, i never had this problem) and i didn't find file like kernel32.lib user32.lib....

so if someone can help me... :P i found some help in MSDN but it deals about VC++... (i use radASM and masm32v10)

i must download masm64 package even if i programme in 32bits?

If there is nothing in your LIB directory the installation was prevented from writing to disk by either AV software or your profile did not have high enough priveleges to write to disk.

Install the masm32 SDK from an admin profile ensuring that nothing prevents it from writing to disk.

it works now thanks a lot  :U it's strange because all the installation process ran (with shell) and there was no warning of my AV... and no problem under xp
mystery of win7.... :green

The problem stems from the MASM32 SDK being a "safe" installation that does not interact with the OS apart from normal API calls and disk IO. It does not write anything to the OS, does not escalate privelege levels, read or write to the registry,  overwrite any DLLs or steal other system's file extensions but it comes at the price that it can be blocked on installation by insufficient rights or AV software. Hope it all works fine for you.
