If you reloaded your computer, you will also need to reinstall MASM. You can find the installer here[^].

I already download it, but the setup tells me to install visual c++ express 2005 edition, and I have installed, but the MASM installer run and disappear without doing anything.
But if you see at this link you will find the requirements requires windows xp but my windows is 7, maybe this problem??

Well that makes it a bit messy.

C++ express 2005 seems to be available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=804

I would think that XP is the minimum Windows version and Win XP vs Windows 7 should not be a problem.

I would expect that installing MASM for VS2005 would make it available for your version of VS. If installing VS2005 after whatever version you have, don't check the "install symbols" box or your default VS will be VS2005 express. If this happens, the easiest fix is to reinstall your newer VS (ie. after VS2005).

(second link says that MASM is integrated with VS2012; I didn't know that and don't know whether it comes with other versions).

I don't know what to tell you?, MASM property has back from its own. I didn't anything!! In past the MASM property in project properties wasn't showed up, but now it is!!???
However, I have compiled a little program but an error occured: "error MSB3721: The command "ml.exe /c /nologo /Zi /Fo"Debug\main.obj" /W3 /errorReport:prompt /Tamain.asm" exited with code 1."
what's that mean?

Here is the source code:
include 'win32ax.inc'

_hello db 'Hello World',0

_title db 'Hello World! from KernelRoot',0

main:
call MB

push 0

call [ExitProcess]

;============ MB function ==================
MB:
push 0

push _hello

push _title

push 0

call [MessageBox]

ret
;============ End MB ========================
.end main

It works in FASM.
