Troubleshooting
If you have administrator privileges and debugging is not disabled, and JavaScript Editor's debugger is still not working, this means that your Windows installation does not have Active Script Debugging in place. Active Script Debugging is included with any of the following:
Microsoft Office
Microsoft Visual Studio
IIS - Internet Information Server
PWS - Personal Web Server
Remote Components Setup
Platform SDK
Microsoft Script Debugger
If in doubt, or if you get the error message "class not registered" when you start debugging, go for the Microsoft Script Debugger download. It is free, and it installs Active Script Debugging:
Do a Google search below for MS Script Debugger. This takes you directly to the free JavaScript debugger download page on the Microsoft site. Download it and install it.
