Note You can use MASM 6.14 to develop applications that run under MS-DOS or Windows 3.1x, but the assembler (ml.exe) requires Windows 9x, or Windows NT. If you need to use MASM on an MS-DOS or Windows 3.1x machine, version 6.11d is the latest version capable of running under these operating systems. To obtain a patch to update version 6.11 to version 6.11d, visit the following Microsoft Product Support Web site:

The files provided in ML614.exe do not patch MASM version 6.11c, which was made available only in the Windows NT version 3.5 DDK and Windows 95 DDK, in the form of the files ML.exe and ML.err. You must replace these two files with their version 6.11 counterparts prior to installing the 6.14 patch. You can reinstall the ML.exe and ML.err files for MASM version 6.11 from the original disks. To do this, select Copy a File From the Distribution Disks from Setup's Main menu and specify ML.exe and ML.err.

MASM 6.11 is no longer available as a retail product. MASM 6.11 is included with some levels of the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). You can order MSDN by contacting Microsoft Sales and Service at 1-800-426-9400.
