Where to download a MASM IDE

[jvh]

It's been over 20 years since I wrote in assy but not I must pick it up again and I am having trouble finding an IDE or some type of assembler for X86 type processors.

I downloaded MASM from uSoft a while back but it wants VS C++ 2005. I can't find a 2005 version and wonder if it would conflict with the 2010 Express version I have loaded.

I am sure there are other sources but I am leery of what I download, fearing I will get another qvo06 or such from an unfamiliar site.

Your recommendations please.

Thanks,
jh

Try MASM32. Turnkey system that works.

VS 2005 is out there, if you look for it
but, unless you also plan to do some C programming, i wouldn't say that's the way to go

the masm32 package (link in upper right corner of forum page) is certainly the easiest way to get started for win32 asm programming

if you prefer an IDE for asm, i guess i would suggest RadAsm (in addition to masm32)

several years ago, i was in the same boat
i had done a lot of 16-bit programming in DOS days, and wanted to make the transition to win32
this is where i wound up - lol
been here 6 or 7 years, i guess

Hi jvh,

Welcome to the forum.

Another choice is Pelles IDE :

Actually, Masm doesn't really require VS C++ 2005 - it is happy with any VS C++, including 2010 Express.

I know what you mean. Just yesterday i was googling for asm IDEs and found RadAsm. The website looked a bit spooky to me, so I decided to leave it and now I found it here, so I was probably on the wrong track. :)

I downloaded EasyCode, which was another IDE that I found, and you can find info about it here in the forum: http://masm32.com/board/index.php?board=25.0

I'm only a starter, as I used to use Visual Studio 6 before, but decided to want a dedicated ASM IDE instrad. So far it looks nice, the ony drawback I found so far is, if you want to write small simple ASM test routines. EasyCode is rather GUI centered it seems, but this may be just my uninformed first impression.

RadAsm should be just fine for you.  Myself, I use WinAsm Studio, but only because of the folder structure forced on you by RadAsm.  Source codes for both are available.
