I wish those people at least provided a sticky thread explaining clearly if the MS-DOS mod is still being maintained and if it could work in 64-bit. If this is not good enough, then an emulation like DOSBOX might be the solution, and run M$QB like it was remembered in the past. Even better is to somehow find a computer that has WindowsXP or earlier installed and do it that way, only because this project depended on that one COM file as its greatest limitation.
BTW QB64 cannot load Quick Libraries, which is another thing that hinders what the OP might expect. The BASIC source code that was used to compile to QLB has to be made available as $INCLUDE file into QB64 BASIC code.
I was going to propose something else that I never checked out myself which is radical...
