Howdy,
I'm downloading VS2005 Express for C# and VB
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/install/) which is great
but there's no
mention of JScript.NET. In fact a search on microsoft.com and msdn.ms.com
shows only a few articles on the topic (apart from the reference manual).
I'd love to use it but don't know how to get hold of it. :-/
I'm getting the Express versions of VS2005 because they're free. Paying for
JScript isn't an option but, even if there's not a free version, I'd
appreciate knowing how JScript is packaged.
Thanks.

There is no GUI tool support for JScript.NET, if you want to use it
install the .NET framework SDK and use the command line tools (e.g.
jsc.exe is the JScript.NET compiler).
.NET 2.0 framework SDK download is here:

Ah, I look forward to them making it a first-class language with its own
IDE. Until then...
That's super. Thanks Martin. :-))

You could also search the web - there are many freeware third-party script
editors that also support JScript.
You might want to look at Scite - which is a "configurable" editor to work
with any language as long as you have a syntax file (which is usually
provided by somebody or the other) and a compiler.

JScript .NET is part of .NET Framework and not of any Express edition. If
you have installed .NET Framework , you can use its compiler rightaway. Use
any text editor you like for your souce code.
I hope it helps,
