If the error, you are receiving when importing the Net Express project is that there is no template then you are probably running a version of Visual Studio 2022, which is 17.13.4 or higher.
A bug has been found beginning with 17.13.4 which causes the COBOL templates not to be recognized. You can check if this is the problem if you create a new project and the COBOL templates are not shown in the list or if you open an existing project and try to add a new item.

Thanks for this solution. I have been battling to start a COBOL project in Native mode - I only had .NET available. Your solution helped to reset theĀ Rocket (Micro Focus) Visual COBOL 10 PE Edition - Extension in Visual Studio Community Edition 17.13. 6. Many thanks
