Assembler for windows?

[DivideByZero]

I want to learn the assembly language.

Whats the best free assembler and where can I download it for windows vista?

I'd like to make executable files out of the compiled (maybe .obj?) files.

any help would be appreciated.

About the assembler, I'm trying to learn myself, so I'd like to hear an answer to that one too

Now, to convert object files to executables, you need to link them. In DOS there was a command called "link", and I'm pretty sure you could find a linker somewhere (I recall using one with my Borland C )

Intel provides one.

Here are some popular ones.

NASM
The Netwide Assembler: NASM
FASM
flat assembler
YASM
The Yasm Modular Assembler Project
MASM

NASM and FASM from what I have seen would be my picks.

TASM is good:
Turbo Assembler

Open a command window by doing "Start->Run" then write "cmd" enter, in the command window write "debug", that's an assembler!

I'm using Flat Assembler, which IMHO is a good assembler for Windows and I using it on Windows Vista.
See flat assembler

I have some free fasm source codes here: FASM Resources Page

Debug.exe can only do 16-bit 8086 code, which has extremely limited usefulness nowadays. I'd advise against it. There are far better things out there for free.

If you're going to use MASM, I would suggest getting the MASM32 SDK.

Because of portability issues i recommend you to learn NASM, which is the most portable assembler and has lots of documentation.
