SystemScripter 6.02 Review
(Page 1 of 6 )
Dr. Tobias Weltner’s SystemScripter 6.02 is a fully-featured VBScript Editor designed for system administrators and IT-pros. Much more than a VBS Editor, he has attempted to make it a complete Windows Scripting toolkit. Today, I’ll be taking it through the paces.
To begin, I headed over to the SystemScripter website and grabbed the download. The install was a standard, straightforward Windows installer.
The website design is a little tricky until you figure out the navigation, but after that you'll unlock a wealth of information. Dr. Weltner walks you step-by-step through all of the program features and usage complete with great instructions and screenshots.
He describes the program as "Visual Studio for WSH." As I mentioned, this editor goes far beyond VBS into the complete realm of Windows Scripting. It emulates Visual Studio in its attempt to act as a full development environment.
Dr. Weltner was also kind enough to provide me with a professional license in order to review the activation process. Activation is very easy and takes only a few seconds. Licenses are also transferable from one computer to another. Simply remove a license before uninstalling the app and use the same key to activate the next machine.
If you forget to remove your activation before uninstalling the application, you can also transfer it from the SystemScripter website.
Now that I had the application installed and running it was time to delve into its many features. The web site does a lot of boasting. I wanted to see if the functionality stood up to all of the hype. To put it through the paces, I first walked through the site's tutorials and then set out to develop my own script.
