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.
Regards
Chris Saunders

Hello Chris
How many of the 64-bit projects don't load?
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.
