Javascript Alert message runtime error Object Expected

Question

Ok .. this is a strange one as I have NOT seen this before. I have an application that is strictly a Service ... no browser involved ... and all I want to do is use alert(); for debugging. The only problem is that it causes an Object Expected error even if it is a simple alert("Show me!");

Remember ... this code is not attached to any form or browser. So what am I missing? I thought I could use the alert call at any time in Javascript ... Please folks, help a poor programmer out!

Thank you in advance, Eric

Like praneeth already suggested in his reply, it is a Windows WScript thing, or rather just context in which the script is being run in.

This also works and isn't quite as verbose as what praneeth offered:

WScript.Echo("Hello");
