So will the Windows Scripting Host also be depreciated. It's the VBScript engine for Windows.
It would probably have to - it sounds like they're pulling the DLL, so that would kill all those. They have been pushing WSH users for a while to go to PowerShell. That's a bumpy transition. :sigh:

My plan to ignore VBScript paid off! (Okay, they pay was poor, but...)

Excuse me?! :wtf: IIRC, that only ever worked in Internet Explorer. Given the limited reach, I don't think it was "often" used in HTML even back in the 90s. In the words of The Big Yin[^], I'd be "shocked and stunned, and more than a little amazed" if anyone was still using it in HTML today.

I was thinking/hoping that was a poor description of ASP Classic. But I might be giving them too much credit.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
