Sorry, I was not aware that MPIR needed yasm (and the yasm.rules file). I had built MPIR quite a while ago and at that time already had yasm setup with Visual Studio for Brian Gladmans GMP project for Visual Studio. I have since re-installed Visual Studio and wasn't aware MPIR needed yasm. Although I haven't built it yet the project now loads fine. By the way the "lib_mper_amd64" was a typing error on my part. Thanks very much for the help. I thought I might catch hell for posting dumb questions (or top posting) to this list.

I notice that the project name "lib_mper_amd64" is wrong - it should be "lib_mpir_amd64" - I thought that this was a typo but if this is truly the displayed project name, then it is wrong. You can correct this by doing a search and replace in the *.sln file using a text editor.
