VBScript 
("Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition") is a deprecated programming language for scripting on Microsoft Windows using Component Object Model (COM), developed by Microsoft and modeled on Visual Basic and Active Scripting. It allows Windows system administrators to create tools for managing computers with error handling, subroutines, and other advanced programming constructs. It can give the user complete control over many aspects of their computing environment. It has been installed by default in every desktop release of Windows since Windows 98,[1] and in every release of Windows Server since Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack.[2]
A VBScript script must be executed within a host environment, which can be one of several within Windows, including: Windows Script Host (WSH), Internet Explorer (IE), and Internet Information Services (IIS).[3]
In October 2023, Microsoft announced that VBScript was deprecated.[4] In May 2024, a multi-phase depreciation schedule was announced with removal planned for 2027 or later.[5]
