Installing the Masm64 SDK

[jj2007]

But you need to download a self-extracted exe instead of zip.

Show me one professional software that comes with a zip archive instead of an installer.

The original version of the masm64 SDK download was a zip file "masm64v01.zip". https://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=5669.0

You're calling that professional???

Nah, just mentioning that the original Masm64 SDK download was in fact a zip file, and not a self extracting archive.

ILSpy has zip, vsix and msi https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/releases
Process monitor just a zip file https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon
The MASM32 SDK just a zip file as well
Standalone software doesnt need an installer, you just copy bunch of files to some folder and use it.

Just tried to download this and, like others, have been prevented by the browser/os at every point. Have not been able to do it.

There is no reason this needs to be an executable. Just make it into a zip file, like the original, and all these issues go away. A zip is also more convenient, anyway.

What browser and version number. Which OS and version number?
Maybe there is a solution for your particular arrangement.

Well, maybe. But zip files too, can trigger negative responses from AV software.

I managed to get it installed. Required me to disable the builtin antivirus.

Just remember to re-enable it.

Thanks for this JJ2007, I managed to get masm64 installed and fully working thanks to these instructions a couple days ago 
I still prefer 32-bit assembler, but this is a good tool to have.

Glad you got everything okay.

Oh, me too.

I know that 64-bit is the future and wanted to look at 64-bit assembly for that reason, but then I saw how parmarea works and how much more complicated the code looks and noped. :D

Hi Quin, since you have the capability maybe you will be interested in a few easy examples in 64 bit.
They are basically direct conversions from 32 bit for the most part... with minor changes where necessary.

Each of those examples have a 32 bit counterpart in the Masm32 SDK examples folder...

HI Zedd,
Thanks for these! Downloading and giving them a look!

No problem Quin. 
If you have any comments about those examples, please post in that thread linked in post #27 to not clutter this one...
