LKBEN10627: Howto set the default interpreter for scripting host. Wscript versus Cscript.
Symptom
The standard is wscript but you rather prefer cscript
Cause
Wscript is the default value.
Solution
To change the default interpreter for windows scripting host you use the command:
wscript //H:cscript
To get the default back
wscript //H:wscript
With cscript your echo messages land on a command line which makes it easy to pipe in different processes. With wscript you will get litte messageboxes on the screen and have to click OK. You can try the following little example:
WScript.Echo "Hi Lubby"
WScript.Echo "We were always looking for a knowledgebase"
WScript.Echo "and now we found it. :-)"
