How do I install an assembler?

I've been interested in learning Assembly for over a year now. However, I've made zero progress because I can find any assembler that will work properly. The same thing happens every single time I download a new one: I'll click on the .exe to run it, it'll show command prompt for a split second, and then it'll close.

This doesn't happen for anything else. Only these. Why does it do this, and how do I get it to stop?

IRC problem.

When I try to search #bookz with the command @seek dale carnegie i get no response from the bots

Does anybody know why?

You need to feed it source code for it to assemble.

Just go to Mikro to search for a better assembler if your current one didn't work : http://www.mikroe.com
