Rechecked https://get-superbol.com/software/gnucobol-windows-installer/; next to older packages there is now an AIO package with a reasonable details info. [and this seems to be hosted here]
The binaries were built by someone named David, so maybe @ddeclerck; but the scripts/configs for the installer and the new additional tool gc-onfig (adjusting environment variables) are still not available.
Nonetheless I take the option to say that the AIO works quite good, also as a silent msi install.
I'd like to know what "gcobc" is and how the additional gdb.exe (also including python support) compare to gdborig.exe
In any case I suggest to:
allow gc-config to operate either GLOBAL or CURRENT USER
allow user installs (not write to global environment vars, install under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs per default)
add a "GnuCOBOL command prompt" to the start menu shortcuts (it may just opens cmd.exe and executes cobcrun --verbose --version; in general similar what cobenv.cmd is doing
add an option to place this shortcut on the desktop (additional)
add option to install documentation locally (I think the compressed static HTML output should be small, if not this could be another installer
add an option to not install GixSQL
add an option to not create any startmenu shortcuts
add an option to install only the runtime (= no cobc/gcc/gdb/gixpp/gixsql, no dialect configs)
document how the options may be used for silent installs
provide an option to not tinker with the environment (in the easiest way that would need a cobenv.cmd as shipped with Arnold's / MSYS2 that would be started first; it could additionally check a file in %LOCALAPPDATA% - which may be written by gc-config - that contains the GCC compiler to use and adjusts the environment variables for the running session)
