I’ve been playing around with GNU COBOL. My usual platform is Windows, and so I picked the Windows version of it.

The Windows version doesn’t work properly, because it is missing some DLLs. Even the version which are advertised as being fixed seem to have problems.

In the end I used the Linux version of GNU COBOL, which just installed and worked properly. I used WSL to install Ubuntu within Windows, and Visual Studio Code in Windows.
