Installing as an upgrade

This release works concurrently with the previous version of Visual COBOL, so you do not need to uninstall it.

Install the latest version in a different location and set the environment to point to it. To do this, run the Visual COBOL installer with the –installlocation option:

1. Execute the following command:

   . /InstallFile -installlocation="/opt/microfocus/VisualCOBOL_eclipse"

   Note: You can use variables when specifying an absolute path for –installlocation. For example, the following examples are equivalent:

   -installlocation="/home/myid/installdir"

   -installlocation="$HOME/installdir"

2. Execute cobsetenv to set the environment and point to the new install location:

   . /opt/microfocus/VisualCOBOL/bin/cobsetenv

   Note: cobsetenv is only compatible with POSIX-like shells, such as bash, ksh, or XPG4 sh. It is not compatible with C-shell or pre-XPG4 Bourne shell.
