    Visual Studio 2008 not syntax highlighting vbscript ?

    OK, this is weird. Just installed VS2008 from MSDN RTM build (this
    machine has never had any beta builds on it). When I open a vbscript
    file on same machine in VS2005, code-completion and highlighting is in
    effect.

    In 2008, it treats it just like a dumb file. Had a good google to no
    avail. Anyone ?

    (ps, couldn't see a dedicated VS or VBSCRIPT group, so the VB group
    was next best match :) )
