include \masm32\include\masm32.inc
include \masm32\include\windows.inc
include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc

include \masm32\lib\masm32.lib
include \masm32\lib\windows.lib
include \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib

Should be:
include \masm32\include\windows.inc ; windows.inc always goes 1st
include \masm32\include\masm32.inc
include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc

use "includelib" for lib files
includelib \masm32\lib\masm32.lib
;includelib \masm32\lib\windows.lib ; no such file
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib

hope this help..  :t

See \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc for the correct syntax and order, or just replace everything from .386 through the includelib statements with:

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc
