Windows version not working with error: there is no script engine for file types js

[AtmanActive]

Hi,

Congrats and thank you for developing this AWESOME software.

I was looking for something like this for years.

Just today I discovered it by chance on my Linux Mint box using AppImage Pool and was blown away!
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!
Literally, no words how good Eagle Mode is.
I wish all computers were like that all the time. :-)
This is a revolution in computer user interfaces.

Anyway, I now wanted to install it on my windows machine and installed version 0.96.3 from the official site.
The installation went well, but now, when I try to run Eagle Mode.lnk, I'm getting these errors:

Windows Script Host: There is no script engine for file extension ".js".

Fatal Error: Failed to create bookmarks by running: wscript C:\Program Files\Eagle Mode\etcw\emMain\CreateInitialBookmarks.js C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\eaglemode\emMain\bookmarks.rec

Any help on how can I get it working would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi, the error most likely means that .js files are not associated with the JScript interpreter. Maybe some program has changed the association (e.g. a programming editor or so). To reset the association you can try this command:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\jscript.dll

If that does not help, then this command may do it:

assoc .js=JSFILE

I have that information from these pages:

Hi,

Yes, that's it.

Here are the commands I executed in the RunAsAdmin Command Prompt:

regsvr32 /u jscript.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
assoc .js=JSFile
ftype JSFile=%SystemRoot%\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %*

then, in RegEdit:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.js\(Default) set value to "JSFile"

After the reboot, Eagle Mode started working as normal.

Thanks!
