Re: [MSH] Requires an executable on the RHS of a pipe?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Current public builds don't handle this very well, and basically run invoke-item on it. That uses the Windows ShellExecute API, and opens a new console window when the script runs.

Our current development branch handles files like .vbs, .pl, etc much better. We use the Windows FindExecutable API to search for the program responsible for the file, and run it in the same console window.

Just out of curiosity, how *does* msh know how to use a JS file? Is it
running invoke-item on it, and JS files are bound to the WSH
interpreter, or what?
