Hello,
I have made a test with my own headers.

   .486
   .model flat,stdcall
   option casemap:none   ; case sensitive
   include translate.inc
   include windows.sdk
   includelib kernel32.lib
        ;.data       -------> not accepted
   DATA SEGMENT    ;------> accepted
   
   titre db "Adresse Email trouvé",0

   .code

   start:
   invoke ExitProcess,0

There is more defines in the windows.sdk than in the windows.inc.
The replacement of ".data" by "DATA SEGMENT" allow a correct compilation.

By the way, the bug mentioned above has been fixed some time ago. Thanks Japheth :t

Not so old

[jj2007]

I meant "my" bug, Yves. Yours seems to be related to Windows.sdk - where did you get that file? Which error messages do you get?

I use only the sdk,ddk and vc++ lib.
It's for that i calles the vsvars32.bat
I hope it's more clear now ?

To JJ2007,
That file is part of the "ready to use sdk",here:
http://luce.yves.pagesperso-orange.fr/header.htm
clic on the SDK link

No download link there, Yves. However, since all my sources (even the huge and complex ones) assemble just fine with JWasm, Masm 6.5, 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0, I am inclined to believe that the problem is somewhere in Windows.sdk

[TouEnMasm]

No download link there ???????????

the "SDK" underligned letters in BLUE must be clic that all.
The sample is perfectly compiled by ml (any versions).
The problem isn't in "Windows.sdk".
I will not have posted it,in this case.

"SDK" underligned letters in BLUE point to http://luce.yves.pagesperso-orange.fr/header.htm#Nouveaut%C3%A9 - and that is clearly not windows.sdk., Yves :(

However, by scrolling one line up, the link becomes visible. Wow, 2339 files in the *.cab
My advice: forget JWasm, stick to Masm

[TouEnMasm]

If you are afraid with the 1348 files of the SDK and the masm32 samples files:

test_jwasm.asm(11) : Error A2069: Segment, group or segment register expected

this error message gives a good hint. jwasm translates .DATA to

Code: [Select]

          _DATA segment
          assume cs:ERROR

and error A2069 can only occur with the ASSUME. Hence the reason why jwasm doesn't like your code is: there's somewhere in your SDK a text macro ERROR defined.

Workaround: define ERROR as a number, not as text. Then it's not processed by the preprocessor.

[TouEnMasm]

Thanks to japheth for answer.
I have found two defines for ERROR in the SDK

adoint.sdk
1062   : Error MACRO  Function:REQ, args:VARARG

This one is an interface,renamed in Ierror
Wingdi.sdk and .h        ERROR equ <0>
I have just put this one in comment
ALL is good now

No need to comment it out - to solve your namespace pollution problem, you can just call it erreur MACRO 

[japheth]

invoke CoInitializeEx ,NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED
include shlobj.sdk
richedit.asm(73) : Error A2080: Block nesting error: _TEXT

Ok, I downloaded your sdk and this sample.

"ready to use sdk" is perhaps a little bit euphemistic, but with some experience in this matter it's no problem at all to make it work.

The "block nesting error" is a bit misleading, because it claims _TEXT to be the segment causing trouble. In fact, it's a few  "DATA SEGMENT" directives that still occur in the source files that cause this error. It's an error, because the segment is opened but never "closed" ( with a DATA ENDS directive ).

Just replace the "DATA SEGMENT" with ".data" and it should work.

Btw., the "ERROR macro" is no problem, because a macro procedure is expanded only if it occurs at position 0 or 2 (after a label, followed by a ':' ).
