DOS program won't link, LINK : fatal error L1093, : object file not found even for the simplest DOS project.

I'm trying to make the simplest dos program but I get this error:

LINK : fatal error L1093: and Settings\Ilankt\Desktop\Programming\WinAsmFull304b\masm32\bin\Link16 @D:\Documents and Settings\Ilankt\Desktop\Programming\Assembly Projects\test3\link.war : object file not found
and yes, I did downloaded from the FAQ thread the link16.exe and copied it to bin directory...
well, here is the code, generated by winasm itself:

what is the problem?
please help me

welcome,

Sorry for not responding earlier (been too busy). Here is your code as a WinAsm Studio project that builds properly for me. Please let me know of any problems you might have

Thanks, but I get the same error
\link.war : object file not found
why this file is needed?
nvm I'll use command line now...
thanks anyway!

Hi,
The problem is that the 16-bit linker expects expects NO spaces in the file path. So, change your bin folder accordingly. war files are response files and give POWER to WinAsm studio as they overcome the command line length limitations of both the 16-bit and 32 bit linker and have nothing to do with your problem.

Please let me know if your problem is solved

I had the same problem, since I installed both the Winasm and the Masm32 packages in "Program Files\etc\etc"

This problem was quickly solved by going into:

Tools->Options->Files & Paths

And changing long names to their 8.3 equivalents. For example:

\Program Files\ was changed to \Progra~1\


Now it works like a charm...
