Which ml64.exe?

[zedd151]

I am glad I looked at this thread. I had one of the slower versions of ML64, for 64 bit host, etc. Which is part of the reason I was going to abandon the idea of writing 64 bit code. Now I have a better version (the one mentioned above 454,752 bytes), much faster assmebly times. I wonder what kind of spyware they put in the 'slow' versions to make it so slow?

I did notice though, that there are files missing that are on hutch's list. (from 1033 folder), I only have clui.dll, linkui.dll and pgoui.dll in my 1033 folder. from x86 host/x64. I have other versions, and I finally got the missing files from where, I forget. Do the other files necessarily have to be the same version as ML6 and LINK ?

I have 14.13.26128 bin and 14.14.26428 bin folders. Both of them have only those three files in \hostx86\x64\1033

What I have put together is this:

This is on my Windows 10/64  installation, and it appears to be working as it should. On Windows 7, I can't install the VC 2015 Runtime Libs for some reason, but for now I will let that pass. Probably something I deleted when I was doing major OS housecleaning is
preventing the install   ::)
I have a clean install of Windows 7 planned for later at some point, and will try again installing the Runtimes for Windows 7.

ROFL     I found a backup of a clean unmodifed (other than some settings) version of Windows 7 - 64 bit I though I deleted it.

I proceeded to download Palemoon portable (cant go to M$ site with old IE) and I downloaded and installed VCRuntime2015 without a hitch.
So now I have a working Masm32/64 setup on my Windows 7. I don't have to deal with WIndows 10.   :icon_mrgreen:

So everything here is all okay now. 
Now all I have to do i trsnsfer all of my crap from the other Win 7 install, so I can use that space for better purposes now.   :icon_confused:

The link does not work.

It downloads if you go down the page and use the direct link, only 853 megabytes.  :P

On the web link is very old version, new release 14.15.26726 contains bug fixes  :t

[hutch--]

I just finished downloading it and get a file named,

VisualCppTools.Community.Daily.VS2017Layout.14.14.26423-Pre.nupkg

Don't know what opens it.

[TimoVJL]

It's a zip-package.

I just downloaded vs2017 at 1.13 gigabytes, this is where you find the smaller ml64.exe.

The latest linker has a problem with a DLL

Is it a serious bug? Something important?

[hutch--]

It was looking for a DLL  mspdb140.dll which I found a couple of versions but it still did not work.

the same thing happened to me, probably you took files from folders /x86/x64 or /x64/x86/, previous versions in the same way require a mythical mspdb140.dll library. You need to use the versions located in other folders /x64/x64 or /x86/x86/  :t
