Hi. Ive just installed the MASM32 SDK and tried to assemble & link a simple program and Im always having this error message.
" Assembling: C:\masm32\aaa.asm
MASM : fatal error A1000: cannot open file : C:\masm32\aaa.asm "
And here is a screenshot.

Ive seen some people having the same error in this forum. And Ive tried the solutions but I couldn't solve the problem. Besides they were installed the MASM32 in directories other than C:\
What's the wrong with this and how can I solve it ?
Im using windows 8.1 x64 and both windows and MASM32 are installed in C:\
Thanks.
where is the aaa.asm file located ?
to save a step - show us the code
even though it isn't at fault, it will save us some typing - lol
"can't open" can mean "can't find" or "I'm blocked by something". As Dave wrote, check if the file exists, and if yes, try to find a reason why it cannot be opened. For example, using Microsoft Word for looking at your source is not a good idea, as it locks files.
Not sure,but if you just up graded to 8.1(I just started using win7-64) you might be running into what I did at first...files blocked by the system. it took me a bit to figure out how to unset the block on files that came from outside(download) until I snooped a bit in the system.
as in "Files did not originate on this system" so blocked.
Hi,
You can open a command prompt session, then
CD \
to get to the root directory, then
DIR aaa.asm /S /P
to see if your source is in C:\MASM32 or someplace else.
HTH,
