This is a known problem that can occur if there are no workloads installed into visual studio, but you state that you have the C++ Desktop Applications installed, so I am not quite sure what the problem is.

Can you post a screenshot of the Visual Studio Help-->About Visual Studio screen?

You are using Visual Studio 2026 which is not yet supported in Visual COBOL 11.0. We are looking to support it in an upcoming patch update but for now you will need to find a version of Visual COBOL 2022 to use.

Thank you Chris, I was misled by the wording "or later".
