StaxScript is a simple VB .NET scripting solution useful to write little applications where a full project would be over the top.

I've not tested Vista compatibility so take care.

Features

• Terse open source implementation.
• Full shell integration (Drag & Drop handler and passing arguments to scripts)
• Executables are cached, no need to recompile if the last modified time of the script hasn't changed
• No need for separate host applications for console and windowed scripts
• Console scripts are detected automatically scanning the code for 'System.Console'
• Code editing with Visual Studio VB .NET 2008 or SharpDevelop using full IntelliSense
  

Requirements

• Windows XP SP2
• .NET 3.5
• 7-Zip
