Installation Restrictions and Requirements
- Visual COBOL 2010 and COBOL Server cannot co-exist on the same machine.
- If, when you install COBOL Server, the machine does not have Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Runtime already installed, it will be installed as required by COBOL Server. The installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Runtime will add a number of .dll files, without digital signatures, into the winsxs directory.
- If you are installing this as an upgrade, make sure that the product is not running on your machine when you start the installation. Also, the Visual Studio Help must not be open.
- To install the product, you need to be logged in with a user-ID that has write access to the registry structure under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and HKEY_CURRENT_USER so the installation software can set the environment appropriately. You also need to be logged on with Administrator privileges.
