Installing on Windows

Note:

This version of the product is a full install.
If you have an earlier version of Visual COBOL installed on your machine, check Installing as an Upgrade before you start the installation.

These are the steps to install Visual COBOL:

Run the vce_100.exe file and follow the wizard instructions to complete the installation.
By default, this installs Visual COBOL in the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL folder and installs a full version of Eclipse 4.28 (2023-06) 64-bit, with the Visual COBOL plugins already installed, in the C:\Users\Public\Micro Focus\Product Name\eclipse directory.

The setup file installs any missing prerequisite software as listed in the topic Software Requirements.

Note: See Advanced Installation Tasks for information about non-default installation tasks.
