I have just installed HLA... I already had masm32 installed.  I changed the environment variables as per the guide yet I am getting this error when trying to compile my first sample program.  Any ideas?

Post your sample program and let's see what we can do :)

program HelloWorld;

#include( "stdlib.hhf" )

begin HelloWorld;



stdout.put( "Hello, World of Assembly Language", nl );



end HelloWorld;


This is the sample program from the HLA AOA guide.  I installed HLA on another machine and it seems to be working fine.  I believe it may be that the first machine has windows  installed to D: instead of C:.  I changed all of the system variables to reflect D: but is there somewhere that HLA could be referring to C: still?  Thanks again and sorry about the ignorance.

Ok, here's the exact error I'm getting.  Maybe someone can help:

Oh sorry, I've been busy and forgot about it. I did talk to Randy recently and he's also been pretty busy as of late so he's concentrating mainly on the yahoo groups AoA support.

Here's the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aoaprogramming/ Hopefully you'll get this worked out quicker over there.

Cheers,
Jimmy

The odd thing is that I'm seeing the number '2' in several places, including for your temp path.  Does this reflect your environment?
