• At the command prompt, type cscript //h:cscript.

• After setting CScript script host as the default at the command prompt, type the script name and then press ENTER.

Even if you have set the CScript script host as the default, you must still type cscript with the //d option to run a script with a debugger.

• At the command prompt, type cscript //d followed by the name of the script and then press ENTER.
