How do set Microsoft Script Editor as the default script debugger
Question
How do I select which debugger is triggered for JIT debugging when a script error occurs in Internet Explorer. Currently I have both Visual Studio and Microsoft Script Editor installed on my machine. However, only the Visual Studio debugger comes up and I prefer to use Microsoft Script Editor as the default script debugger.
Answer
The default script debugger can be set in the registry directly. To do so, follow these steps:
- Click Start, Run and type regedit.exe
- Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ CLSID \ {834128A2-51F4-11D0-8F20-00805F2CD064} \ LocalServer32
- Backup the branch by exporting it to a file
- In the above key, double-click (default) and set its value data to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Script Debugger\msscrdbg.exe
- Exit the Registry Editor.
