Hi, my Macros dont work any longer in EmEditor after Windows 11 Update to version 24H2.

For personal reasons I use EmEditor 14.3.0 and want to keep that version.

A reinstall did not fix the Macro non-working.

Any help?
Thanks in advance!

Semi-Educated guess:
Could be due to the legacy JScript and VB Script libraries. Windows 11 has been messing around with them for a while now and they are marked for removal.

Potential workaround hack:
If you don’t mind experimenting at your own risk, you could try copying Jscript.dll and vbscript.dll to the same folder as EmEditor.exe (note the 32bit vs 64bit versions).

Might help, might not or not quite enough …
… → note that further dlls could be required.

The JScript problem with the updated Windows 11 should be resolved in the latest version of EmEditor. I highly recommend updating to this version. Alternatively, you can download a portable version to see if it solves the issue.
