Tip

View original Confluence page: 1579533 | You can disable this by setting debugLink.enabled to false in renderer.config.json.

Translating ASP Containing Client-Side VBScript to ASPX with Client-Side JavaScript

Note

As of the Dec-2022 release, the VBS to JVS capability is embedded in the core translation engine. You may activate it with Select VBStoJCS=“on” /> rather than <Select RunTimeDlls=”..\usr\VbsToJvs.dll” />

See line 21 below
