I recently installed Ride7 for the 8051 and I'm now trying to build a project that has been around for several years and has never given any problems under previous versions.

The project is almost all 'C', but also has one asm file. When I try to build, I get the following:

 Running: 80C51 Assembler 
 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Raisonance\Ride\Bin\MA51.EXE" "C:\WERK\LKG-2200\Firmware\Development\serial_receive.a51"  QUIET GENERATEDEPFILE EP    SYNTAX(ASM51) PR      XR PL(60) PW(80)  DB RB(0) OJ("C:\WERK\LKG-2200\Firmware\Development\serial_receive.obj") PIN("C:\Program Files (x86)\Raisonance\Ride\Inc;C:\Program Files (x86)\Raisonance\Ride\Inc\51;c:\Werk\Karaktergevers\Common_Firmware")    
 MS-DOS MCS-51 MACRO ASSEMBLER MA51 V06.06.10.173 Lite (32 Kb code limited)

 *** FATAL ERROR #14 ON INVOCATION-LINE : ')' EXPECTED  
  
Build failed 

Try as I might, I really cannot find any missing ')'.

Compiling the 'C' files invokes rc51.exe with a similar command line with no problem.

I tried several different projects with asm files and they all fail with the exact same error message.

I'm running Windows 7.

Best regards,
Rob.
