Anton,

I know this was a query of yours from months ago. But if you decide to go with the legacy JScript interpreter that Windows/WScript offers, a very useful IDE/Editor is VBSEdit. I've used it for years, primarily for VBScript.

JSedit is more appropriate in that scenario and it's made by the same company

Do a web search for "Adersoft JSEdit" and you might find a usable version.

I don't know if it's maintained actively anymore but an evaluation version can be obtained from the Internet Archive:

https://web.archive.org/web/20070206013511/http://www.vbsedit.com:80/jsedit30.exe

Note that VSCode recognizes JScript and will provide autocompletion for a number of scripting host objects such as WScript.
Other interfaces that VSCode provides out of the box for WSH can be seen here:

<https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/blob/main/lib/lib.scripthost.d.ts>

VSCode won't provide autocompletion for arbitrary dll's though. JSEdit/VBSEdit will. The evaluation version of both are nearly unusable though.
