    I have not used VBScript in a number of years, Now I am supporting an Installer project that has all it's custom actions in VBscript. Can Visual Studio be used to code and syntax check VBScript?  I have VS Community 2017, and when I look under new\projects, I see nothing for VBScript.  Is VBScript still supported in Visual Studio, if so, How do I open and edit a VBScript (.VBS) file?  If not, please recommend a a free IDE.  Thanks

    That appears to be OK for debugging, but what about coding, syntax checking, intellisense.  I do not think that it is applicable towards those things.

    In that case I would look at VBSEdit.
