Execution of Scripts

• Provide runner buttons that call:
  • cscript.exe //Nologo "path\to\script.vbs"
  • wscript.exe "path\to\script.vbs"
• Use wrapper scripts in /Tools to ensure correct working directory and to capture stdout/stderr into a console window or a log file in Data\logs.
• Option to run scripts with a temporary working folder inside Data\Temp to avoid writing to host system locations.

Option 2: The Older Freeware Version (5.7.2.0)

Andersoft allowed free use of VbsEdit version 5.7.2.0 for non-commercial purposes. This version is often redistributed legitimately on CD-ROMs and old technician toolkits. Unlike newer versions, this older release is less dependent on deep registry keys.

You can place VbsEdit.exe (approx. 4 MB) and its accompanying .dll files on a USB stick. It will run on Windows XP through Windows 10 (32-bit only). The downside: No 64-bit native debugging, no modern syntax support, and the object browser is dated.

Where to find it: While we cannot provide direct links, checking reputable archives like PortableFreeware.com or the Internet Archive for “vbsedit 5.7” is a starting point. Always scan with VirusTotal first.

Why Choose the Portable Version?

• Stealth/Cleanliness: It doesn't write to the Windows Registry or create start menu folders. It keeps the host machine clean.
• USB Workflow: You can carry your scripting toolkit in your pocket. If you are fixing a friend's computer or administering a server, you can plug in your USB drive, edit the script on the fly, and run it without leaving a trace.
• Permissions: In corporate environments where you may not have admin rights to install software, the portable version often runs without issues.

Option 1: Use the “PortableApps.com” Format (DIY)

The PortableApps.com platform uses a standard launcher that isolates registry writes into a single file. You can convert the standard VbsEdit installer manually.

Step-by-step (for educational purposes only; requires a valid license):

1. Download the VbsEdit installer from the official website.
2. On a clean test machine, install VbsEdit to a custom folder (e.g., C:\Portable\VbsEdit).
3. Use a registry tracker like RegShot to capture changes before and after installation.
4. Export the registry keys (typically HKCU\Software\VbsEdit) to a .reg file.
5. Write a simple batch launcher:

   @echo off
   REG IMPORT "%CD%\vbsedit.reg"
   START "" "%CD%\VbsEdit.exe"
   

6. On exit, use a cleanup script to delete the registry keys.

Limitations: The debugger may fail because COM registration for the script engine requires deeper system integration.
