How should the VBS-JS Converter works ?

[crap_inhuman]

Could you please explain, how the Converter works? How can i try to convert a script?

Simply install using extensions window and then click on new icon in toolbar.

I'd just add that it simply converts the original VBS code to the new JS, including many API conversions. The resulting JS can be used in MM5 as a native MM5 script, i.e. added to Scripts folder. Sometimes there're almost no more code changes necessary, sometimes much thorough manual changes are necessary (depending on the coding style and language features used). Based on the way the script was used in MM4, some addition to MM UI might be necessary, e.g. if not already done by MM4 VBS code, an addition to MM5 'actions' list or addition to menus or toolbar might be necessary. Feel free to discuss any issues you encounter...

You need to reinstall convert script.

To clarify, a new version of the script was uploaded in order to fix the issue, it should work fine now.

Thanks,

Hey Jiri, could you plase add a link to the new script as the only versions i can find are 1.1, unless this is correct but you haven't changed the version number.

Thanks

Thanks for the link but this is the one I was using but its locked so can't post there.
The link a couple of posts above the latest one from jiri is a link to version 1.1 and was wondering if this is still the latest update withoout the version number being changed. Post dated 30th Jan 2017.

thanks again
Mike

Yes, it's the latest version. Sorry for the confusion, will include a better versioning scheme in the future.

After downloading the converter and attempting to add it, I'm getting this:

Invalid Product installation package. Missing extension id.

I'm using MMW 5.0.0.2218

I'm assuming there is something else I need to do?

[PhilDG]

Hmmm...it works now and I'm not sure what changed. I ran MM5 as administrator but was convinced I'd tried that before

It's been a long time since MM5 came out, but for anyone else that goes to use this script, the menu button the run the converter appear next to the search box for me.

It's not in any dropdown menus and can't be added to the standard top tool bar by editing layout - it doesn't appear to be an action that can be added. So just scour the interface for it.
