Which ml64.exe?

I am glad I looked at this thread. I had one of the slower versions of ML64, for 64 bit host, etc. Which is part of the reason I was going to abandon the idea of writing 64 bit code. Now I have a better version (the one mentioned above 454,752 bytes), much faster assmebly times. I wonder what kind of spyware they put in the 'slow' versions to make it so slow?

I did notice though, that there are files missing that are on hutch's list. (from 1033 folder), I only have clui.dll, linkui.dll and pgoui.dll in my 1033 folder. from x86 host/x64. I have other versions, and I finally got the missing files from where, I forget. Do the other files necessarily have to be the same version as ML6 and LINK ?

I have 14.13.26128 bin and 14.14.26428 bin folders. Both of them have only those three files in \hostx86\x64\1033

What I have put together is this:

This is on my Windows 10/64  installation, and it appears to be working as it should. On Windows 7, I can't install the VC 2015 Runtime Libs for some reason, but for now I will let that pass. Probably something I deleted when I was doing major OS housecleaning is
preventing the install   ::)
I have a clean install of Windows 7 planned for later at some point, and will try again installing the Runtimes for Windows 7.

ROFL  :greensml:   I found a backup of a clean unmodifed (other than some settings) version of Windows 7 - 64 bit I though I deleted it.

I proceeded to download Palemoon portable (cant go to M$ site with old IE) and I downloaded and installed VCRuntime2015 without a hitch.
So now I have a working Masm32/64 setup on my Windows 7. I don't have to deal with WIndows 10.   :icon_mrgreen:

So everything here is all okay now.  :biggrin:
Now all I have to do i trsnsfer all of my crap from the other Win 7 install, so I can use that space for better purposes now.   :icon_confused:

You can make to available the missing files in masm64 SDK. I think no one should to spend time and internet downloading that software monstrosity that is VS.

There is only 1 problem with that suggestion, copyright.

May the source be with you

The link does not work.

It downloads if you go down the page and use the direct link, only 853 megabytes.  :P

hutch--

I just finished downloading it and get a file named,

VisualCppTools.Community.Daily.VS2017Layout.14.14.26423-Pre.nupkg

Don't know what opens it.

I just downloaded vs2017 at 1.13 gigabytes, this is where you find the smaller ml64.exe.

The latest linker has a problem with a DLL, went back to the older 2017 version.

Is it a serious bug? Something important?

hutch--

It was looking for a DLL  mspdb140.dll which I found a couple of versions but it still did not work.

:biggrin: the same thing happened to me, probably you took files from folders /x86/x64 or /x64/x86/, previous versions in the same way require a mythical mspdb140.dll library. You need to use the versions located in other folders /x64/x64 or /x86/x86/  :t
