I am trying to run a cobol program dos-based in windows 7. I am getting the error “cobol run time library not installed, file not found”, then program closes.
Programs and files are on network. I had managed to make it work somehow, now it has stopped doing so, and I have no reason why.
I am running the batch file, which maps drives correctly, in compatibility mode, as administrator. It will run in XP mode/Virtual PC, but there are many users who would not be able to run it that way.
Thanks for any suggestion.
Error Running DOS-Based COBOL In Windows 7

I’d guess it was the path if you did have it working.
I’d map a network share to each computer and then run it from a mapped drive, the program would have to be on the share and I’d guess only 32 bit systems would run it. Otherwise you’d have to run dosbox or setup a shared VM to run it vnc or remote desktop.
