I'm trying to learn how to run Javascript (instead of VBScript) using CScript.exe, but when I try, I get an error:

cscript temp.js

Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension .js.

I thought this is possible -- any idea what's wrong?

It turns out that the .js extension wasn't associated with JSFile in the registry. Doing so fixed the problem.
