Using Microsoft script editor instead of Diadem script editor

[BullBalls]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to use the Microsoft Script Editor (MSE7) instead of the DIAdem one. I don't want to use it for SUD, just for VBS script (debug is more powerfull...).

Thanks in advance.

Hi bull balls,

If your DIAdem VBScript only contains blue commands and black variables when you look at it in the DIAdem-SCRIPT panel, then this will work.  As soon as you have a green variable or a red command, you'll be out of luck.  The red commands are inserted by DIAdem into the special DIAdem version of the VBScript host, so these commands will simply not exist in the normal Windows VBScript host, which I'm sure the Microsoft script editor uses.  Also the green variables are handled in special ways in DIAdem, so they will probably misbehave in a different VBScript host.

If there were some way for you to configure your Microsoft script edtor to use the DIAdem version of the VBScript host, then this might work, but I'm betting that the DIAdem VBScript host is not accessible from outside DIAdem.
