Hi JJ
I think the problem is the path configuration. The webistaller should have done it for you. If not, you need to do 2 things:

• Set the environment variable OBJASM_PATH to the OA installation path.
• Check the file ...\ObjAsm\Build\OA_SET.cmd. All tool chain files are defined here in only one place. No need to adjust paths elsewhere, unless you want to.

Note: This has made testing easier when a new assembler or linker version was released and I wanted to check all projects at once.

Hi Biterider,
I made modifications to OA_Set.cmd, see below, and that eliminated the linker error, but it still says "error" without specifying what kind of error.

Hi JJ

Bitness:        64

set Linker="\Masm32\bin\link.exe"
set LibraryCompiler="\Masm32\bin\lib.exe"

I think you are trying to build a 64 bits with 32 bit tools.

Try at begin of *.asm file modify to :

SysSetup OOP, WIN32, ANSI_STRING

Hector, I am trying desperately to assembly your original code... and it's too messy for my taste, I'll give up now, sorry.

and it's too messy for my taste

If I remember well, WinKit and VS not always have same structure. Can take a little effort but is only once time.

For example I have a little different setting in 32bit machine :

Code Select Expand

set Linker="%MSVS_PATH%\bin\hostx86\x86\link.exe"
set LibraryCompiler="%MSVS_PATH%\\bin\Hostx86\x86\lib.exe"


At first I also give up and set ObjAsm to use only masm32 package
