Alternative to Microsoft Script Debugger
« on: March 30, 2017, 09:09:00 pm »
Hi,

We need to use the Microsoft Script Debugger. The support says that this product is "depricated". That's why they are not allowed to install it. Is there an alternative available?

Many thanks in advance for your answers, Viking

If you use Javascript instead of JScript or VBScript EA will debug it without an additional component being installed.

I'm still using the microsoft script debugger component as all of my scripts (few hundred by now) are VBScript, and I'm not planning on changing that anytime soon.
If anyone needs the executable, send me a PM and I'll send you a copy of it. I saved it before MS removed the download from their website.

Hi Simon, I tried to debug JavaScript, but it does not work: "Session is undefined".

[239945911]      Stack recording threshold set to 3 frames
[239945988]      Default Directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA
[239945988]      Agent dll found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA\vea\x86\SSScriptAgent32.DLL
[239945988]      Default Directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA
[239945988]      Agent: Started
[239946096]      Session is undefined

Could you tell me what went wrong? Best regards, V.

Hi Viking,

unfortunately no idea and I've got exactly the same problem as you. (Windows 10 Pro, EA 13.0.1310).

Sparx told me that I should better script in JavaScript thus Microsoft isn't maintening the microsoft script debugger.
The EA Debugger operates seamlessly with JavaScript (I've tried it).

But I 'll have to translate all my old scripts (VBScripts and JScripts)...

Best Regards

Daniel
