l The JavaScript engine is Microsoft’s JScript 5.8, which is the equivalent of
JavaScript 1.5 (ECMA-262 3rd edition + ECMA-327 (ES-CP) + JSON).
l While JavaScript and VBScript are natively available on Windows operating
systems, Python and Perl require third-party tools to be functional. For Perl,
ActivePerl can be installed. For Python ActivePython (version 2.7.13 ) can be
installed.
