Hello I have a user on Windows 10. He just got a new machine with Windows 10 so he reinstalled as per my instructions but gets Unable to find lib cob-4.dll when he tries to run my .exe file.
Everything worked fine on his previous windows 10 machine.
I've asked him to redownload the install package from Mr. trembley's site and try again.
In the meantime , any ideas what's wrong?
Many thanks
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The GnuCOBOL/bin folder is obviously not in PATH.
It may was added manually on the last OS installation and therefore was always available, while it now only works if set_env.cmd was called before.
Hint: a recent set_env.cmd also works fine as starter, the user can drop your "my.exe" directly on that cmd, or could create a link that way.

Thanks Simon, that was it. The user set up the required env. variables... except for updating the PATH correctly.
