    any solution

    Looks like __ImageBase is a linker-defined symbol that is to give the base address of the module. It's not implemented in jwlink currently.

    A possible workaround is to define the missing symbol in the source:

    OPTION PROLOGUE:X64Prologue
OPTION EPILOGUE:NONE

.code

__ImageBase equ $ - 1000h   ;<--- assumes that header has size 1000h
public __ImageBase

PUBLIC main

INCLUDE Main.asm

      thanks for the quick response
      i think your solution is correct
      however if i simply make this change i get

      i can build other projects so i'm not sure what's going on
      i'll try your change on larger projects & see if i can build
      functioning exe's

    I also get this crash if jwlink is to create debug info.

    The proposed workaround at http://sourceforge.net/p/jwlink/tickets/2/ should also fix this bug.

    There are a few warnings issued by cvpack:

    warning: unknown header detected in types.
    warning: unknown signature detected in symbol table.

    I guess this is because it detected some CV8-style debug info in at least one of the crt library modules.
