Key Steps to Install Visual Studio
Step 1: Download Visual Studio: 1. Open a web browser on your computer. 2. Go to the official Visual Studio website: Visual Studio Downloads 3. Click on the "Download Visual Studio" button. 4. For Assembly Language programming with MASM, choose either Visual Studio Community (free) or Visual Studio Professional. 5. Click on the "Download" button to start the download process. Step 2: Run the Visual Studio Installer: 1. Once the download is complete, locate the downloaded file (usually in the Downloads folder) and double-click it to run the installer. 2. If prompted by User Account Control, click "Yes" to allow the installer to make changes to your device. 3. The Visual Studio Installer will launch. It will download necessary files and prepare for installation. Step 3: Select Workload: 1. In the Visual Studio Installer window, you will be presented with different workloads and components to install. 2. Since we are interested in Assembly Language programming with MASM, select the workload that includes Desktop development with C++. 3. Additionally, ensure that you select "Desktop development with C++" under the "Workloads" tab. 4. Optionally, you can also choose individual components such as "Windows 10 SDK" for additional features. 5. Make sure to include any components related to debugging or Assembly Language support. Step 5: Start Installation: 1. After selecting the desired workload and components, click on the "Install" button to start the installation process.

Step 6: Install MASM Extension: 1. Once Visual Studio is launched, navigate to the "Extensions" menu and choose "Manage Extensions". 2. In the Extensions window, search for "MASM" or "Microsoft Macro Assembler". 3. Select the MASM extension from the search results and click on the "Download" or "Install" button to add it to Visual Studio. 4. Follow any additional prompts or instructions to complete the installation of the MASM extension. Step 7: Verify Installation: 1. Once the MASM extension is installed, create a new project by clicking on "File" > "New" > "Project...". 2. In the "New Project" dialog, select "Assembly Language" under "Other Languages" or "C++" if you selected that workload earlier. 3. Choose a template for your Assembly Language project (e.g., Empty Project) and click "OK". 4. You should now see a new project created in Visual Studio, ready for Assembly Language programming with MASM.
