Hello All,
I recently joined this forum a couple weeks ago, and at the time, wasn't sure where new member threads belonged (I searched for some sort of stickied new members thread); I conducted a search and it seemed like the last new member post was in FEB 2014. Anyways, I apologize for not complying earlier.
Currently, I'm in the U. S. Navy and I was recently moved from my original job to an administrative position. Right now, I have a desk job and I sit in front of a computer all day. During periods where mission burdens are light, the work schedule is less intense, and I get an ample amount of free-time. I wanted to try and use that time as constructively as possible, so I decided that I would try and brush up on some programming so that I can finish my degree somewhere down the road.
As you can imagine, we're quite limited in what we can do on these machines. To make a long story short, MSVC is not an option :( A stand-alone assembler is about as far as I can go in terms of putting software this machine in which I lack permissions. I'm new to x86 ASM, but it's definitely helping me to learn more about memory addressing/pointers and a whole bevy of demonic programming concepts that I previously tried to avoid ::)
I'm not, by any means, a proficient programmer (as I often find myself browsing the forum for helpful posts). It seems to me that 99% of the posts on this forum are constructive, rather than destructive, so I decided that I would make an account and try to join this friendly community :t
Thank you, enjoy your day!
Welcome

Hi AnDino,
Welcome to the Forum :icon14:
Did you manage to get Masm32 running, i.e. download & installation, hello world in \Masm32\qeditor.exe?
Hi AnDino,
Thanks for posting and welcome on board. you will find MASM a ton of fun and it vastly improve what you know about programming languages as well.
hey AnDino - welcome to the forum :t
and, thanks for your service, too :biggrin:

I did get it running on my personal laptop, but on my work computer, I'm using jWasm with some of the "custom" Win32 .inc files; it seems to be working fairly well, but it's taking me a bit of time to work out some of the "unfamiliar redefinitions."
Welcome my friend.

I find that DOS commands are a security loophole for basic operations, which works well with MASM32.
Use several batch files to make MASM32 work. Subst M: C:\Users\Profile_Name <<< This is good through W7, I have not tested it on W8 yet.
Install MASM32 to M: drive, or what ever drive letter is free on your drive mappings. Re-use the mapping Batch file, each time you reboot/restart Windows.
An alternate is use a USB drive, But if security is set high, this may not be an option.
If you have any others issues on the restricted computer(I know of a few, when I was programming on a work PC.), bring them back here, we have overcome most issues already.
Enjoy the power of MASM32, on a restricted PC !!!
Best Regards, Michael aka P1

Hmmm... That's pure genius! I'll have to try that; thanks for the tips!
Hi and welcome!
I came a little bit late but here is my humble recomendation:
Ramon Sala's RAD for Assembly is simple and great:

Best part: You dont need admin privileges for it.
