-do you have download the correct vcvs2018_60.exe for vs2017? There is a other version for vs2017 or vs2019!

What is your error message?

Before installing visual cobol, you must have Visual studio installed!

My proposition: deinstall visual studio 2017, install the newest visual studio 2019, then download the correct version of vcsv2019_60.exe and install it.

I know that visual studio 2022 is released, also visual cobol 7.0, but only visual cobol 6 is available for free download, limited to 2200 lines of code.

your english can be read correctly, you can post in other languages and then use google translator

i used Win7 32bit, win10 64 bit prof. and also win11 64 bit with visual studio and visual cobol without install problems!

Hi Greiner.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I will install Visual Studio 2019 and try again.
