VBScript (Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is a deprecated programming language for scripting on Microsoft Windows using Component Object Model (COM) based on classic Visual Basic and Active Scripting.
VBScript was popular with system administrators for managing computers; automating many aspects of computing environment.
VBScript running environments include: Windows Script Host (WSH), Internet Explorer (IE), and Internet Information Services (IIS).[1] The running environment is embeddable in other programs via the Microsoft Script Control (msscript.ocx).
VBScript has been installed by default in every desktop release of Microsoft Windows since Windows 98;[2] in Windows Server since Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack;[3] and optionally with Windows CE (depending on the device it is installed on).
In October 2023, Microsoft announced that VBScript was deprecated.[4] In May 2024, a multi-phase deprecation schedule was announced with removal planned for 2027 or later.[5]
