Hi,

this year, the old beta version has already received the release candidate status

I have posted an updated version in the first post in this topic. It has some extra equates in the win64.inc file, the CodeEdit project in the examples. Make sure you run this SFX file from the root directory of the partition you are installing the SDK on.

This is very close to a release version. It has a new editor as well as QE which is a full 64 bit version. It is called "teditor.exe" and has been intentionally written to look and work like QE. It is both faster and has a far larger capacity and in the case where I may need to modify it or add bits to it, its a modern 64 bit architecture of the type that I am currently writing so its straight forward enough to maintain.

You will need to supply or get hold of WIN32.hlp and there is a menu option to help you set it up. A download link for the Intel manuals on the help menu which is very useful for finding instructions.

Also note that the old help file WIN32.HLP is not included as the version I have is 24 megabytes in size. If you have a copy or know where to get one, put it in the "help" directory as it is already installed on the help menu and F1 will work with it.

INSTALLATION
You run this SFX file from the root directory of the partition you want to install the SDK on. What you must end up with is a directory straight off the root directory called "masm64". If you move the installation to any other location on the partition, it will NOT WORK. If you already have an installation of the SDK on the partition, slightly rename it as this SFX is not designed to overwrite an existing installation.

The EXE is a self extractor made with Winrar.

Feedback would be useful, I don't need design information but if anything is broken, it will help to make a later release version better.

Unfortunately no one can replace him. After all, he had a special style of writing code and a special vision for the development of the project

@mak

In this thread on MASM32 Forums, I have offered to community to create an organization on github(or gitlab) and continue developing sdk.

I am waiting because community might not have solved some administrative and financial problems yet. Also there is a guy called vasily who had written -nearly- all of the macros for masm64 sdk. I still do not have direct connection with him. I have to get permission from him to publish his and hutch--'s work.

I will inform Exetools community about this issue. And if i take the responsibility i will ask you for your contributions

Stay well!
