Hi,
I am new to assembly programming an am looking for a way to experiment with assembly code. However, I have the following problem:
When I go to compile the beer.asm example, I get an error messages that says "file not found", and the include 'win32a.inc' line gets highlighted. I have this file in the "include" folder that came with the compiler. Any ideas?

When all else fails, read the source

You need to set your environment variable:

set include=c:\yourPath\include

Better add the following to your fasmw.ini:

Code:

[Environment]
INCLUDE=c:\yourPath\include

FASMW.EXE should add

Code:

[Environment] 
INCLUDE=c:\yourPath\include 
;;replacing c:\yourpath with the current executable's path

To it's own INI, it should be done by default.

Having the default behavior of "NOT" generating a compile error when you just download and unzip FASMW for the first time would probably be a "GOOD" idea.

Yeah, I've always wondered why this was manual. Actually many programs (Perfmon, HWMonitor from cpuid.com) initialize the *.ini file with some default values. Its a rather easy inclusion 1) get CurrentDir 2) squirt it into the init...

or not?

1) get CurrentDir

Better "GetModuleFileName(NULL, ..." as may happen that FASMW is launched with a different current directory than where it is installed.
