Title: error A4910: cannot open file: F:\masm32\bin\ml615.err
Post by: jimg on March 29, 2018, 06:06:05 AM
I've been ignoring this problem for some time, but it's time to fix it.

If I execute, from the command prompt-

\masm32\bin\ml615.exe -c -coff -Cp -Fltestmasm.lst -Sn -Sg test.asm

and there is an error in the program, I keep getting the above error A4910.

I am running as administrator with all permissions.
I have checked the security permissions on \masm32, and all looks good.

This is windows 10 pro.

I don't see a switch saying where to write the .err file if one is needed.

Any suggestions?

I suggest you use this one. Extract to \Masm32\bin 8)

Ah.  It all becomes clear now.

I was misinterpreting the error comment as meaning it couldn't open the .err file for writing.

And now that I think back, some time ago I tried out a disk cleanup routine.  It helpfully deleted all .err files it found!
