I need a working 65C02 assembler that will run on Windows 7

I've been searching, and have tried several. No joy at all.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried CA65, the assembler that's part of the CC65 toolset? I've only used it's output with a simulator, but it assembled and ran fine for me.

The Kowalski simulator has a built-in editor and assembler. It works well in windows 7 and 10.

Search Kowalski updates for the latest update.

I use Cross-32 ("C32" for short), originally from Universal Cross Assemblers in Canada, now sold by Data Sync Engineering and also by MVP. I don't use Windows, but you can use it under DOS too, and I use DOS on an older PC I keep for my 6502 development. You can download Windows and DOS free demos there. This is an excellent macro assembler which, for $99, assembles for dozens of different processors, and they even tell you how to make the table files for it to assemble for a processor of your own design, which supposedly is about a 40-hour job. I don't know any other way to get a great assembler for a new processor.

My links page has a section with a lot of 65xx assemblers, most of them free, at http://wilsonminesco.com/links.html#assem . A few of the linked pages in turn have links to lots more 65xx assemblers.
http://WilsonMinesCo.com/ lots of 6502 resources
The "second front page" is http://wilsonminesco.com/links.html .
What's an additional VIA among friends, anyhow?

The Kowalski assembler/simulator should work fine with Windows 7. You can grab the latest version right here.

Well, I'm the oddball... I use WDC Tools in a Win7 VM under VMware Fusion (OSX) and Slickedit (OSX version) as an editor.

With all the mods Daryl has made to the Kowalski assembler you should take a look at it. It's a very capable piece of software.

The Macroassembler AS targets 65C02 as well as about a million other CPUs and variants, and the download page offers a Win32 build (tested on some version of NT in a VM) that would be worth trying on Windows 7. (I use the Linux version myself.) It's also under active development and well supported by the author on the mailing list.

Oh, this looks rather handy: also supports 65CE02 and 65816. Thanks for the pointer!
