Attemp to access jscript files in a Steam Workshop mod for a game I purchased on Steam is resulting in a Windows Script Host syntax error code 800A03EA

Question

Hello, I have an issue. I purchased a game from Steam, everything went fine. I downloaded a Steam Workshop mod for said game, also all fine. I went into File Explorer to the mod's folder and double clicked on a javascript file to open it, and I got a window entitled Windows Script Host with script syntax error, code 800A03EA, with a source of Microsoft JScript compilation error. What should I do to correct this error?

What should I do to correct this error?

Probably nothing. Why are you trying to execute the script? What do you expect it to do? It was probably written to execute in a Steam (or web server/browser) environment, and not be invoke by the Windows scripting host.

If you want to see what's in it, right click and select "edit". That will open the file in notepad.
