Will all Classic ASP apps stop working now that VBScript is about to be removed from Windows OS?
VBScript will be removed from Windows OS in the near future. What does that mean for Classic ASP web applications? Will Classic ASP also be removed from future Windows OS?
Pieter_Cooreman I asked this same question on a userforum: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/install-or-uninstall-vbscript-feature-in-windows-11.13095//VB#post-442881
It appears that after you uninstall VBScript on Windows 11 (only possible on the very latest - Windows Insider Program - version of Windows 11) Classic ASP/VBScript no longer works. By dropping VBScript MicroSoft also drops support for Classic ASP, as most web applications built in ASP used VBScript/
Although "most" might be using VBScript, a lot of web applications built in ASP use JScript, and they should continue to work.
Although VBScript to JavaScript converters exist, JScript is not exactly the same as JavaScript.- I believe Microsoft will solve this problem well. It is not wise to delete ASP at will, as there are still so many applications developed with ASP.
