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?

I use the Ophis on Windows 7.

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.

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.

TASM + VS Code, just did a video about it: https://youtu.be/kamDP5FA6Bg

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