 ANN: Windows Script 5.5 Beta 1 available Today we posted the first beta of Windows Script 5.5. Essentially it's an update of JScript to be ECMAScript 3 compliant and beefing up of VBScript regular expression support. There will be a new scripting clinic (written by the ever present Peter Torr this month) posted later this week covering some of the new features. http://www.*-*-*.com/
Enjoy

hmmmm, let's see - I posted a "heads up" 26 hours before that in the ...scripting.wsh ng <g> !
Of course it was in the MSDN Flash newsletter 2 hours earlier ;-)

It's not there yet, it's not been approved - but I understand it's been finalised and submitted to the committee for formality of approval which should happen shortly, They don't make drafts available. So we'll have to wait and see how compatible it is with ECMAScript 3, The Script people obviously just want to be really, really quick of the bat... They could do with updating what they are doing though, as it doesn't seem to
have been for some time (ISO standard was april 1998)

Ahhh, but we released it ahead of schedule, on November 30th! ;-) Quote: > Of course it was in the MSDN Flash newsletter 2 hours earlier ;-)
I wonder how it got in there? <g> Peter

Hi Andrew, I will be working on a rough document for this today. The Scripting Clinic
has been submitted to MSDN and should be live soon... the first draft of the
documentation should be live soon, too.

Sorry all VBScript readers - it was completely unintentional! My post made it to microsoft.public.inetsdk.programming.scripting.vbscript,
but (for some reason) not to plain old microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript

See the post "New features in Windows Script 5.5 Beta 1" ;-) ECMA 3 will not be released for a while (don't know exactly how long...)

Any idea how shortly we're talking about? Ish?
Thanks

Hi, As soon as it gets done - it is a rather involved process!
For the time being, you can manually extract the files (either by using
WinZip, or by starting the installation process and copying the files from
your Temp directory), copy them somewhere, and register them with
regsvr32.exe

OK, so the delay is with the MSI rather than any Windows Script issues? Thanks - I'll download the beta now!
