Not sure WHY, but the following code does not compile for me...

.386

.model flat, stdcall

option Casemap:none



include MyProject.inc



.code



start:

  invoke GetModuleHandle, NULL

  mov hInstance, eax

  invoke GetCommandLine

  

CDTrayProc proc

         ;Open the CD Tray

	.if CDTrayState == 0

		invoke mciSendString, CStr("Set cdaudio door open"), NULL, 0, 0

		mov CDTrayState, 1 ;Set the CDTrayState to 1 so we know door is open

	.else

		invoke mciSendString, CStr("Set cdaudio door closed"), NULL, 0, 0

		mov CDTrayState, 0 ;Set to zero so we know it is closed

	.endif	

 	ret

CDTrayProc endp



end start

Now, I am using RadASM to work with the files and RadASM only reports "Make error (s) occured."

When I try to compile from the command-line, I get the error "MyProject.inc(10) : fatal error A1000: cannot open file : WINDOWS.INC," which is simply too odd for me. Heh, I simply do not understand it... oh and, yes, line 10 in MyProject.inc is "include windows.inc" I do not have this trouble with any other project I have and everything else is compiling fine.

Well, any help on this is, as usual, appreciated very much. :)

Thanks in advance!

P.S.
It is just an app to help me learn to work with mciSendString for a small CD player I want to try and build.

Or better, set up your INCLUDE and LIB paths, and stop using those messy hardcoded paths.

Have you saved this particular project/asm file in another folder, or on another partition?

if you "include masm32includewindows.inc", you must have the source file on the same partition as the masm32 install (a reason hardcoded paths == sucky). Case doesn't matter on windows.

No, they are both on the same drive. Just like all my other projects, they are in my ASMProjects directory. But for some reason, this is the only one giving me this trouble.

RadASM Output:
------------------------------------
Assembling: MyProject.asm

Make error(s) occured.
------------------------------------

I just don't understand it. I even tried defining the entire path to windows.inc, but it did not work.
