I just installed Visual COBOL. I get the COBOL language option in Visual Studio 2022 but not 2019. Can I configure the "VSIX Installer" to target VS 2019?

Also, not sure what type of project to start in Visual Studio to debug Infor Lawson Microfocus COBOL.

Also do not know how to connect Visual Studio to the source code on the Infor server. Do I have to download the PD, WS, rpt and .scr files to my local windows PC? Any help appreciated!

Hi Mark,

There are separate installers for Visual COBOL for VS2019 and VS2022. They have names like:vcvs2019_80.exe and vcvs2022_80.exe. They are not interchangable.

I am afraid that you will have to provide more details about the Lawson code before I can help you with the other questions as I know next to nothing about the product they provide.

You would probably be better off asking Lawson about how their system works.

Thanks Chris. I have the vcvs2022_80.exe install. I did create a support ticket with Infor asking how to connect. I appreciate you responding.
