PrimalScript is the next generation of our industry-leading Universal Script Environment (USE). As a system, database or network administrator, web developer or end-user developer, you need to work with multiple technologies, languages and file formats at the same time.

PrimalScript’s ribbon interface has been carefully designed to provide virtually all functions you use every day on the Home tab. Create script templates based on your requirements and business needs to accelerate your ability to deliver solutions faster.

PrimalScript’s script packager offers advanced options and platform selections to deliver solutions targeted at specific environments. You can restrict packages by domain, machine, user, platform and MAC address to avoid unauthorized script execution. Code signing, platform independent start-up code, Run-As, elevation and many more options are at your disposal.

Our MSI database builder, combined with the ability to run your own custom deployment commands, enables you to modify a solution swiftly, package it, create an installer for it and deploy it on your network, all with a single click.

Our restore point feature provides you with an additional safety net if you are just experimenting with a script. Easily roll back to where you started from or define your own specific milestones as you progress through development.

Key Features

Powerful Script Editor

Supporting over 50 languages with syntax coloring, brace matching, code folding and a large number of enhanced features, this editor has everything you need.

Multi-Platform support¹

Execute and debug your scripts in 32-bit or 64-bit mode, with or without elevation, all from within a single IDE.

Integrated console

Developing scripts and using them to accomplish your day-to-day tasks no longer requires switching back and forth between editor and console. Run your scripts in any integrated console with the push of a button. Any console, any platform, any time.

Multi-Platform debugger¹

Debug your scripts in our integrated next generation debugger on 32-bit or 64-bit without switching applications or restarting. Explore and modify variables and their content from our debug console for PowerShell, VBScript and JScript.

Remote Debugger

PrimalScript is the only scripting IDE with a remote debugger for PowerShell, VBScript and JScript.

Navigate your code

Jump easily between functions, script blocks, to do list items and bookmarks with PrimalScript’s enhanced navigation bar.

PrimalSense

Unsurpassed code-completion and instant help features guide you through developing more complex solutions in less time. Use .NET or COM objects in your PowerShell or ActiveX language code and get the same level of support.

Package and deploy your solutions

Package your scripts as stand-alone solutions for your users, create MSI databases for GPO distribution and run your custom deployment commands, all from the same environment where you create them.

¹ 64-bit execution and debugging require a 64-bit operating system.
