See
Before Installing first for important information. Also, see
Installing as an Upgrade, if you have an earlier version of
Visual COBOL installed on your machine.
To install this product:
Run the
vcvs2019_70.exe file (or
vcvs2019_70.exe) and follow the wizard instructions to install the prerequisite software and the product.
Note:
If you are installing onto a machine that has an existing
Micro Focus product that uses an older
Sentinel RMS License Manager, you might be prompted to remove it and install the
Micro Focus License Administration. By doing this you maintain the existing
Sentinel RMS license files while adding the
Micro Focus License Administration. If you are unsure about existing licenses on your computer or removing the
Sentinel RMS License Manager, consult your System Administrator. If you want to proceed, remove
Sentinel RMS License Manager by using
Program and Features, and rerun the installation file.
Depending on how you plan to use the product, there could be dependencies on the Microsoft Windows SDK and Microsoft Build
Tools packages. The installer will install the latest versions of the Microsoft Windows 10 SDK, and the Microsoft Build Tools
for Visual Studio 2017, to their default locations. Refer to
Microsoft Package Dependencies to see if you will require these packages, and if not, you can configure the installer to skip download and installation
(see
Advanced Installation Tasks for more information).
Trial licenses cannot be used with remote desktop services. If you want to use your product in this way, please contact
Micro FocusCustomer Care to obtain a relevant license.
We recommend that you install any updates for Visual Studio and the .NET Framework that are available at the
Microsoft Download site.
If you install JDK you might be prompted to install the latest update. The latest update is not required for use with
Visual COBOL but you can install it if you wish.
