I am running:
Just trying a simple .jsx script for now to understand the running / debugging workflow.
From "Run and Debug" sidebar, when I click the "Run and Debug" button, it asks me to choose:
Of course my script fails to run, being unable to Launch or Attach to my current InDesign version.
How can I update the InDesign (and other app) versions presented in the Host Application dropdown list?
Thanks,
Set up a launcher. This is what mine looks like:
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "extendscript-debug",
"hostAppSpecifier": "indesign",
"engineName": "main",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Current file",
"script": "${file}",
}
]

Ok, that worked. š
I'll take some time to understand why that one worked correctly and why my other, standard launch/attach scripts didn't.
Thank you.

Hi @Albioner ,
not outdated at all, the 064 in this name stands for the 64-bit version.
The 18 in front of course is the main version number.
FWIW: Compare the names of the two versions of Adobe Illustrator CS6 in the screenshot below that I took from the CC ESTK (ExtendScript Toolkit ) from 2012 still running on my Windows machine:

I see. So, the version was a red herring, and my original problem description was wrong. Thank you for clarifying.
