Looks pretty good...

Good.

...

lib=;C:\hla\hlalib;C:\hla\hlalib;C:\hla\hlalib;C:\hla\hlalib;C:\hla
\hlalib;C:\hla\hlalib;C:\hla\hlalib;C:\hla\hlalib;C:\hla\hlalib
;C:\hla\hlalib;C:\hla\hlalib

This looks a little out of control. Looks like *something* (you? the
installer? a batch file?) is doing "set lib=C:\hla\hlalib;%lib%"
multiple times. Won't do any harm, but if goes on you'll fill your
entire hard drive with this one line, eventually. Not a "priority", but
sooner or later you'll want to "fix" whatever's doing this.

Path=C:\hla;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:

Okay, that worked.

c:\hla>cd projects

c:\hla\projects>set

Changing directories won't change your environment variables.
"Shouldn't", at least...

...

c:\hla\projects>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 7563-3993

 Directory of c:\hla\projects

06/14/2008  08:17 AM    <DIR>          ..

c:\hla\projects>hla hw.hla

No complaints. For troubleshooting purposes, you might want to use "hla
-v hw.hla", which will spew out a lot of information about what HLA
thinks it's trying to do. Generally "silence means success" (without the
"-v" switch). This should have worked... but...

c:\hla\projects>hw
'hw' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This suggests that it didn't. :(

c:\hla\projects>cd hw

c:\hla\projects\hw>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 7563-3993

 Directory of c:\hla\projects\hw

06/14/2008  08:46 AM    <DIR>          .
06/14/2008  08:46 AM    <DIR>          ..
06/14/2008  08:20 AM               157 hw.hla
               1 File(s)            157 bytes
               2 Dir(s)  174,107,688,960 bytes free

Now you've changed directories... Wouldn't expect to see "hw.exe" here.
It should be in "C:\hla\projects". You don't show that (after "hla
hw.hla"), but the error message suggests that it's not there, either.
Dunno why not.

...

c:\hla\projects\hw>hla hw.hla

Again, no complaints...

c:\hla\projects\hw>hw
'hw' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

But again, it apparently didn't work.

c:\hla\projects\hw>set path=C:\hla\projects\hw;%path%

Shouldn't need to do this... unless you want to be able to execute
"hw.exe" from other directories.

c:\hla\projects\hw>hla hw.hla

c:\hla\projects\hw>hw
'hw' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Still no joy!!! :)

c:\hla\projects\hw>

any suggestions on how to make this work?

No. Not at the moment. Try, from either "C:\hla\projects" or
"C:\hla\projects\hw" (some directory where "hw.hla" exists - not a bad
idea to have each project in its own directory... or "C:\hla\projects"
will get cluttered...) doing "hla -v hw.hla >err.log" and post
"err.log". That should tell us *where* hla is quitting, and maybe why...
It'll at least tell us what version of hla you're using - 1.99, I
hope... 1.10x is "in progress" and earlier versions... well, 1.99 exists
to fix the bugs in earlier versions...

Hope you get this working soon. I imagine you do, too! It gets easier,
honest!

Best,
Frank

Thank's Frank for your input. I am running around a little aimlessly.
but I have figured it out. For some reason vista made this file (HLA)
an administrator file only, I really do not know why but I got that
setting changed and then found the back cabatability settings and set
it to XP 2003 and put in the setpath and it works just fine. I did put
a lot of information above, I was just trying to give all the
information I could so some one like you could see what you needed to
see and help better. so now I am up and running and I have been
reading AOA, i am now most of the way through chapter 3, the reference
above about learning assembly in one teens to be productive in
assembly veres learning assm. later in life and i guess not being so
productive. I think this is a bold statement. any way i am not a in
my teens but I can still learn and really all i want to do is learn
assm. language so i can understand what the higher languages are doing
and this should help me become a better programer or at least better
at what I want to do which is interface different programs and
hardware to work to gether. I do understand that hla is not pure
assembly but hla is the first stop or book on my reading list to learn
assembly.


see ya, Test professor
