LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "zz.exe"

Question

I wrote a simple piece of code and have been trying to build a executable file using ml.exe in masm32 sdk.But it kept giving me the following.Also my pc runs on win7 64bit. There is no executable file created any folder i looked.

here is the code in zz.asm

f segment
v:  
    int 21h 
f ends  
end v

this page is partially blocked in prc because the page retrieve jquery.min.js from a google server...took me a while to successfully post this.

Answer 1

It looks like ml passes some wrong arguments to link.exe. What you can do is:

ml /nologo /coff d:\zz.asm /link /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /entry:v

And change your entry point to be _v

f segment
_v:  
    int 21h 
f ends  
end _v

Answer 2

Try

ml d:\zz.asm /link /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE
