How To Install Cobol In Windows 7
I was previously using COBOL NetExpress from MicroFocus, which had a free student version, on Windows XP mode. Unfortunately the machine that I was using (A Gateway M-Series, little over a year old.) recently broke and I needed a replacement. I obtained a VAIO (Model VPCCW12FX) which came with Windows 7 Home Premium. After upgrading to Ultimate and installing XP mode, I noticed that the computer isn't compatible with it. Is there any way that I can install NetExpress on my PC? Or alternatively are there any other free COBOL IDEs that I could use in place of MicroFocus's NetExpress?
Install the fix pack with the same user account that installed the product. Restrictions: IBM COBOL for Windows, Version 7.6 must be installed. The product must be closed when you install this fix pack. To download and install the fix pack: Download the fix pack from the download URL link in the Download Options column of the Download package table. I tried to install GNU-Cobol 1.1 on Windows 7 which was a complete desaster (I spent more than 4 days without one result). Therefore I placed the next question in the forum „Creating GNU-Cobol in Windows 7“.
I tried to create GNU-Cobol in Windows 7 environment without success. I loaded down opencobol-1.1-20090206-ALL.mingw.zip - Compiler, Run-Time and module load and run utility. - PDcurses library version version 2.4. - ISAM library VB-ISAM version 2.0. - GMP library version 4.2.1. Than I extracted all this in C: mingw local. Than I set the environment variable PATH=.;C: mingw local bin.
I tried in 'C: mingw local bin cobc -help' and this functioned. Than I created Helloworld.cob with Notepad++ but 'C: mingw local bin cobc -x Helloworld.cob' created a lot of mistakes. I am sure I made something wrong. Yours Johann Zoder. If you're trying to generate the compiler from source code using MinGw, these links will get you a very thorough manual by Gary Cutler on how to build OpenCOBOL.

If you're interested in a pre-built GnuCOBOL 1.1 installer for Windows (which works in windows 7), you might try this one: You would need to unzip the.exe installer program and check for viruses before running it. The installer program is named 'GnuCOBOL-1.1-20JAN2014-MinGW-Setup.exe'. It's about 35 megabytes. This GnuCOBOL 1.1 compiler using MinGw happens to include the Berkeley Database instead of VB-ISAM. But this installer package also includes Gary Cutler's PDF manuals in the documentation subfolder. Thank you for all the hints.
Just for your information. I have installed GNU-Cobel 1.1 on my UBUNTU/Linux Computer and it runs very good (also indexed files). But I can not handle German umlaute. Therefore I asked for help and I want to try to install GNU-Cobol with MinGw (not Cygwin) on a Windows computer in order to find out whether this installation can handle the German umlaute. For the first test I used my Helloworld programm which I used to test my UBUNTU/Linux installation. I now will try to install according to the Cutler Guide.
