Title: How to practice MASM (fast) on Windows 11x64?
Post by: redasm-searcher on April 03, 2022, 02:09:38 AM
Is there a software that allows to write assembly without using extern C or any other "hacks"?
Reading a book about assembly is problematic without a fast way to test the various commands and move data between registers and memory.
Thank you for any help ^^

Yes, it's the Masm32 SDK, see here for a guided installation (https://www.jj2007.eu/Masm32_Tips_Tricks_and_Traps.htm). No C runtime library required.

Hi redasm-searcher,

Welcome to the Masm Forum.

Programming, especially the assembly languages requires a lot of patience. The same applies for studying books.

Sadly some of the links are dead, wayback machine is the solution: https://web.archive.org/web/20190820000433/http://website.assemblercode.com/masm32/masm32v11r.zip

One of them was dead, it's corrected (https://www.jj2007.eu/Masm32_Tips_Tricks_and_Traps.htm). Since you are running Windows 11, you need the Windows 10 version anyway (which had only minor changes, Hutch could tell you more about it, it's his baby).

The link:  http://website.assemblercode.com/masm32/masm32v11r.zip doesn't seem to work! The win10 link works.

What happened was I no longer needed that particular web site so I cancelled it. You get tired of paying for things that are barely used. Just use one of the other links.
