Windows Script Host is giving an error running JavaScript

Question

I keep trying to open an index.js file, and even reinstalled my Windows and tried every single thing that was recommended on the Web, but I keep getting this error.

Script:      C:\Users\usename\foldeename\file.js
Line:        1
Char:        1
Error:       Syntax error
Code:        800A03EA
Source:      Microsoft JScript compilation error

Answer 1

Is this index.js JavaScript or JScript? WSH doesn't support JavaScript, it supports JScript. JScript also uses the .js extension. To run JavaScript, use NodeJS.
