Installing Fujitsu COBOL under Windows XP

  1. Go onto the Internet and download the most recent version of the Microsoft Application Compatibility Tool (ACT). The following link should take you to the webpage - http://msdn.microsoft.com/compatibility
  2. Install the ACT following the instructions provided by Microsoft.
  3. From the Start Menu, open Window Application Compatibility Tool.
  4. Run the program QFixApp and you should see the following Window:



  5. Select the NT4SP5 layer.
  6. Insert the Fujitsu CD into your CD Drive. It is likely that the Autorun feature will start the application, when this occurs cancel the process by using the "X" button.
  7. In QFixApp browse the CD for the autorun.exe file, as shown. (The CD drive will generally be D, but in this case the drive is labeled E.)



  8. Open the file and then Run it from QFixApp. Once the application is opened, you can follow the instructions given in Exercise A1 of Appendix A.
  9. After the compiler is installed you should be able to run it without further problems.
