Installing / uninstalling.


Tasm IDE comes in a ZIP file so you will need WinZip to decompress it. The most easiest way is to move the ZIP-file to the folder where you want it and right click it in Windows Explorer. Select to decompress it and all files will be extracted and placed in the right subdirectories. This will create a few folders: Lib, Help, Projects and Wizards. Now you can start up "Tasm IDE.exe". First of all, you need to set the right folder that contains the Turbo Assembler executables. Select in the menu Program->Settings and select the folder that contains the following executables: tasm.exe, tasmx.exe, tasm32.exe, tlink.exe, tlink32.exe and optionally td.exe, tdw.exe, td32.exe, brc.exe, brcc.exe, brc32.exe, brcc32.exe. In a normal installation the required files will be installed in the Tasm\Bin folder.

The program will keep settings in the file TasmIDE.ini. This may seem old-fashioned but the advantage is that Tasm IDE runs independently from Windows. You can move the Tasm IDE folder without problems. This has also the advantage that uninstalling is very easy. You can just delete all the files and it's gone! No registry entries or hidden files in C:\Windows are left. You do lose settings when you delete TasmIDE.ini.
