Script Debugger
If you have Visual Studio installed, the Script Debugger enables you to debug shell automation scripts, as well as HTML pages that contain Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) or JScript™ (Microsoft's implementation of JavaScript™). If your shell script contains an error, a dialog box automatically appears and prompts you to run the Script Debugger. See also Script Debugger (https://www.microsoft.com/scripting/debugger).
