How Upgrade IIS 6.0's jscript version

Hi IISers ---

Im trying to run some IIS 6.0 server side asp javascript/jscript code that requires a call to the 'generic:function'. [i.e. code is specifically----> generic:function( obj, key, value ) ]

Currently I have a IIS Server Side jscript version of: 5.6.8832

---------------------

couple of questions based on that info:

1. will upgrading my jscript version from 5.6 to 5.7 or 5.8 allow me to call that generics function successfully?

2. If so, how do I upgrade IIS to those versions w/o having to install IE 7.0 or 8.0? (im using IE 6.0 for testing of asp pages and want to stay with it)


EDIT: this is all on an x64 computer, so there is no MS download for jscript 5.7 or 5.8 upgrades for x64 OSes.

Tnx
Dave

Honestly, I wouldn't be afraid to upgrade to IE 8.0 on the server and you'll get the upgraded script engine I believe. I would spin up a VM of the same OS, try out the process before performing on your production machine. Have you considered upgrading to w2k8? This will give you the updated script engine + all the benefits of 64 bit computing.

Thanks Steve, but im more than a bit leery of upgrading IE as I use vs.net 2003 to debug classic asp. I see the upgrade of to IE8 broke the vs.net 2005 for a bunch of devs, so I assume it would be equaly bad to visual studio 2003.

I guess it may be time to actually make the move to using VMs and start testing in them, though.

Is there no simple/easy way to upgrade IIS w/o touching IE? (No wonder there's a monopoly lawsuit aimed at MS -- why does upgrading a server software have to involve also upgrading the browser software? Sheesh. Talk about non-sequitors.)

You know your requirements better than I. I understand not everyone is on the latest and greatest as MS likes to advertise. MS didn't do us a favor with the scripting engines. It can be introduced three ways, 1) Integrated into the OS 2) A stand-alone EXE to install / upgrade on the OS 3) IE (yes seems crazy). The VM idea is a effective one and one I've used over and over to 'test' different situations, such as this. I can't think of a easy way to upgrade w/o upgrading IE. That is probably the only way I can think of, but first off I'd test VERY carefully before doing your production box. Sorry that isn't a better answer, just my 1/2 cent.

Im not blaming the messenger. Thanks for your help Steve. I'll try to setup and learn some VM basics so I can give it a whirl a few months down the road.

Tnx for your suggestions.
