Hi,

You may want to check you've got a debugger configured for a start. An
easy way to test it is to deliberately cause an error in the HTA, you
should see a dialog asking if you would like to debug.

Make sure you're script debugger is not disabled in Internet Explorer's
Advanced screen.

Here's a test script that will crash the HTA and ask if you want to
debug. If it does not ask you, there's something wrong with your setup.

<html>
<head>
<script language="vbscript">
Sub init()
        crash my scripr please
End sub
</script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
<pre id="idLog"></pre>
</body>
</html>
